Seller's Description:
Trade paperback, new in pictorial wraps. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR. 9780985935009 Winner of the American College of Nurse Midwives Book of the Year Award. American nurse-midwife Linda Robinson spent a year working in Shamwana, a small remote village deep in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Sent to Africa by Doctors Without Borders, Linda found herself in a community traumatized by a decade of war and famine. The bleak landscape, once teeming with animals and vegetation, had been stripped bare by people desperate to survive. As she worked to care for women and their families, Linda came to know their extraordinary suffering and their equally extraordinary strength. Her letters home each Sunday morning, written to make sense of the overwhelming challenges she was facing, provide a loving picture of the people who both inspired and depended on her. This book gives an eye-opening account of the day-to-day reality of a fieldworker in the African bush, and the trials and triumphs of work with an international organization. Linda's voice is vivid, quirky, wise and brave.
