Opis

This exciting, true story is set in 1971 war-devastated Zaire, Africa. With their fragile, just-born son, Bob and Daphne in a short-wheel-base Land Rover are struggling across overwhelming jungle through regions where whites have recently been massacred. People are dying from a mysterious disease - Ebola Desperate to reach Daphne's parents who are gravely ill in Mallorca they force their Land Rover through appalling red ooze. Facing incredible difficulties, and awesome dangers they enjoy humorous incidents and wonderful scenery. When an official detains Daphne to become his Wife Number 4 the travellers escape by paddling across a fast, wide river on a raft made from dugouts. Will the young family reach Europe in time for the dying couple to see their new grandson? But will the baby actually survive the gruelling journey? The book is illustrated with Daphne's photos, and sketches. Proceeds will go to the fight against Ebola.
