From Tamar Myers, author of The Witch Doctor's Wife, comes a
spellbinding tale of equatorial Africa and a child torn dangerously
between two worlds.
In 1945, an infant left inadvertently to die in the jungles of
the Belgian Congo is discovered by a young Bashilele tribesman on a
mission to claim the head of an enemy. Recognized as human--despite
her pale white skin and strange blue eyes--the baby is brought into
the tribe and raised as its own. Thirteen years later, the
girl--now called "Ugly Eyes"--will find herself at the center of a
controversy that will rock two separate societies.
Young missionary Amanda Brown hears the incredible stories of a
white girl living among the Bashilele headhunters. In the company
of the local police chief, Captain Pierre Jardin, and with the
witch doctor's wife, the quick-witted Cripple, along as translator,
Amanda heads into the wild hoping to bring the lost girl back to
"civilization." But Ugly Eyes no longer belongs in their world--and
the secrets surrounding her birth and disappearance are placing
them all in far graver peril than anyone ever imagined.
