Cherry doesn't know him from Adam, so is he real or is he fake?
Cherry and Adam are lonely in their new, separate worlds and hook up on social media, but that's when their problems start
Any trip, anywhere, any time is my philosophy in life. This gives me plenty to write about, and hopefully after 19 years in Africa, credibility. I try to take my readers, from 4 years and up, on a trip to Africa.
Background
Information
I left the U.S. in 1973 as a Peace Corps volunteer, and never looked back. My husband and I have been working and traveling in Asia, Africa and Latin America and the Caribbean for 29 years. Africa is my favorite continent, where we have spent 19 years, and all 6 of my kids books are set there. I love writing books about Africa, and hope that by doing so my readers will get some good news about the continent for a change.
