Dr. Sarah Whitaker is burned out. When her fiancée suggests spending a year at a hospital in Africa and climbing Mount Kilimanjaro together, she jumps on board. When he backs out, she embarks on the adventure alone. Sarah quickly falls in love with the gentle people, exotic wildlife, and natural beauty of Tanzania, but she is shocked by the high rate of maternal mortality and the scourge of female genital mutilation in the country. She helps by developing a program to train tribal birth attendants in a remote mountain village. Meanwhile, her engagement is in doubt - and another man has entered the picture. If Sarah survives this year, her life will never be the same again. $9.99 at Amazon / Barnes & Noble /
