Wow, I just loved this book! I'm not usally a romance reader but when it is based in historical fact and such interesting subject material, I was quickly hooked. A young independent woman follows the man she loves to Arica where they run a hospital and and bring healing to the natives in the Belgian Congo. Very well written and a great story. The book follows the life of the protagonist over 60 years, where you also meet her daughter and her granddaughter; al very strong women ahead of their times.The male heroes seemed a little too perfect to me, but the situation around them is fascinating. Definitely worth the read. It's one I'm passing on to my closest friends.
