Opis

When Kelly Macklin, a pilot, joins the Peace Corps, she has no idea how her world will undergo a complete makeover. Stationed in the Okavango Delta of Botswana, Africa, as a Rural Industrial Officer, she meets head-on with hippos, leopards and Emil Sobol, a macho safari Bwana. Their friendship develops into more than an acquaintance but it is the hunter/gatherers of the Kalahari, the San people, who become her cause. A cause so powerful she is willing to put her life on the line to help the San retain their land and mineral rights to diamonds, avidly sought by government and mining companies. This book takes you on a daring rescue mission, with tools seldom used in such an endeavor. It is filled with humor and drama. A book you won't soon forget. Beth Oliver is an airline transport rated pilot and a recipient of the Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award. She joined the Peace Corps, serving in Africa, along with assignments around the world where she helped further small businesses, rural development and helped provide humanitarian relief. She has six grown children and resides in Tucson, Arizona, with her two dogs.
