Opis

19-year-old Lula's most cherished wish is to have a husband and family of her own. Yet she gives up her dream in order to take the light of God's love to Africa. Orphaned and put to work at a young age, Harmon flounders through life until he experiences the transformative power of Christ. His burning desire to share that message with people who have never heard it takes him an ocean away from home, no matter that his lack of schooling leaves him ill-equipped to do so. Neither Lula nor Harmon expect romance to be part of their lives. But their meeting in a New York City steamship office starts a lifelong love affair that overcomes raging rivers, evil witchdoctors, violent opposition and personal tragedy to become the stuff of legend. As Harmon's first convert, Emely finds freedom from superstition and a happiness she never knew existed-until she meets the nationally-famous fighter Kosa. He too has been changed by Harmon's message and now fights to win souls for God's kingdom. Emely feels she and Kosa would make a great team, but does he even notice her at all? Set in early 20th century Africa, Swazi Sunrise flows from laughter to tears, and echoes in the imagination long after the last page is turned.
