"Blue Africa," by Therese Stenzel is a well written, heart-warning Inspirational romantic saga about a young English woman, Cassandra Littlemen, in South Africa during 1895.Cassandra must pursue her dream to be a scientist and study butterflies by disguising herself as her brother, Benjamin. Alas, there was no amount of boyish garb that could camouflage her feminine good-looks and nature.When Sir William Keep fails to deter Cassandra from her ruse of posing as a member of his royal expedition by over burdening her with mundane chores, he develops respect for her dedication and intelligence, for she proves to be a competent, even exceptional, scientist.In the beautifully described landscapes of South Africa love blooms amidst a small scientific camp commissioned by the Queen of England. But Cassandra and William must overcome mishaps and miss-matched relationships before they can declare their love.Though this story is set back in time 120 years, its two primary messages are just as relevant today: to be true to the passion God planted in us, and to trust in Him, and not our own strength, to plan and guide our life.Simmer a cup of tea and sink into the pages of "Blue Africa," by Therese Stenzel. You'll have a good read.Review by Lynne Erickson Valle - National Christianity Examiner for Examiner.com
