Synopsis: Against a stirring background of Africa, and particularly among verdant plains and high snow-capped peaks of the Eastern Congo, Charles Mercer has set a tremendously exciting and moving story of a woman’s search for love and understanding. Africa, to Rachel Cade, was a place of mystery and promise and she was only too glad to exchange her drab life for a chance to bring healing and education to the inhabitants of remote Dibela. Little did she think that in this tiny outpost in the Belgian Congo she would learn the truth about herself as a woman, and eventually find a measure of happiness.
