A journalist hitches a ride with a philanthropist and a missionary group to a war-torn African village on the pretext of doing a human interest story on the missionaries. Her real reason for going, exposing the men who were responsible for the wholesale slaughter of a village, may get them all killed.The story had a riveting plot line and realistic and likeable characters. I found myself wanting to wring Gwen's neck at times, even as I wanted her to keep pushing for the real story.The author deals with civil war and orphans in a realistic way, yet she shows the joy the children feel when the missionaries give them gifts.I work with a group that reaches out to street children and orphans around the world, including Nakuru, Kenya, so this particularly touched my heart.
