Heartprints of Africa: A Family’s Story of Faith, Love, Adventure, and Turmoil
No. 1 Bestseller in Travel in Africa, Travel in East Africa, Ministry & Evangelism, and Missions & Missionary Work.
When Cinda decides to visit her identical twin, Linda, and family in Northern Uganda, little does she know they will soon be running for their lives. How did a relaxing vacation result in a terrifying escape from artillery and automatic gunfire? The answer begins four decades earlier when their parents and family of five children leave everything familiar in America to start life as medical missionaries in rural East Africa.
Three generations of a family’s love, forged by shared faith, struggles, and triumphs, serve them now as they fight for survival.
REVIEWS: “Brilliant writing, a heart-stopping adventure, and unforgettable characters make "Heartprints of Africa" a keeper!†—Catherine Palmer, Christy Award-winning author of "A Touch of Betrayal" and 57 other novels.
"Sizzles with the sights, sounds, and smells of her African childhood in the 1960s juxtaposed with a perilous return to that world as an adult. Reading "Heartprints of Africa" is an immersive experience, one that will not be easily forgotten." —Rita Gardner, author of "The Coconut Latitudes."
"Fascinating look at the life of a missionary family in East Africa. I loved reading about the author's swashbuckling, fearless missionary father and his remarkably capable wife as they set off with their five young children for a new life at a mission hospital in East Africa. Very well written, well edited and impeccably formatted and certainly worthy of 5 stars." —Susie Kelly, author of "I Wish I Could Say I Was Sorry", No. 1 Bestseller in African Travel.
A beautifully written memoir that powerfully immerses the reader in the author's life in Africa, both as a child and as an adult. Nail-biting at times, humorous at others, it is a heart-warming account of one family's love, faith, and struggles and I look forward to a sequel from this talented author. —Jacky Donovan, author of best-selling "Simon Ships Out: How One Brave, Stray Cat Became a Worldwide Hero"
"What a GREAT READ. I highly recommend this book. Cinda did a fabulous job of putting life, danger, family and Africa into context for her family." —John S. Basham, author of "Serving is a Pilgrimage"
