This is Joan Baxter's third book about her life in Africa, set against the backdrop of the hardship that most Africans battle every day of their lives. She was a regular contributor to CBC's Morningside and her first, best-selling volume, "Graveyard For Dreamers" was praised by Peter Gzowski as "a magical book." Set in Kenya, Mali, Ghana and Cameroon, Joan tells the story of her own personal discoveries of Africa and introduces you to some of the most amazing people - a traditional healer in a remote Pygmy village, a "crazy man" with a very intimate relationship with God, a philosophical boatman and many more. Baxter explores how people reshape despair into survival and hope.
