I fell in love with East and Central Africa while living and working in a Harambee school in Kenya in 1972. I have a passion for mercy and justice. I go on short term mission to South Sudan with an organisation providing a ministry of peace and reconciliation in areas of conflict and trauma. I have listened to many stories of women’s lives and these books are a tribute to the bravery, faith, and dignity of the women of South Sudan during decades of civil war. I live in Surrey with my husband, and a Yorkshire terrier.
