NOTES

Read by Dr. Ken Jenkins, Chipo Chikara

Ali and Salma are Beja people, living in the hauntingly beautiful but harsh hills of the Red Sea region in the Horn of Africa. They belong to a tribe that time forgot, under siege by a Western culture that challenges the very core of their ancient tribal traditions and beliefs - including female circumcision, otherwise known as female genital mutilation. Enter David Stark, Zimbabwean doctor and Aid worker, caught up in a civil war and an unforeseen awakening of love that challenges his own values, faith and future. When traumatic events cast these three together, their intertwined stories are a moving microcosm of the search for universal human values in a conflicted and divided world. Drawn from first-hand experience of how love can bridge cultural chasms, this is a gripping and heartwarming tale of the triumph of the human spirit and the love of God
