Fiona Sweeney wants to do something that matters, and she
chooses to make her mark in the arid bush of northeastern Kenya. By
helping to start a traveling library, she hopes to bring the words
of Homer, Hemingway, and Dr. Seuss to far-flung tiny communities
where people live daily with drought, hunger, and disease. Her
intentions are honorable, and her rules are firm: due to the
limited number of donated books, if any one of them is not
returned, the bookmobile will not return.
But, encumbered by her Western values, Fi does not understand
the people she seeks to help. And in the impoverished small
community of Mididima, she finds herself caught in the middle of a
volatile local struggle when the bookmobile's presence sparks a
dangerous feud between the proponents of modernization and those
who fear the loss of traditional ways.
