Produktbeschreibung

Blackwood's remarkable story, articulated in Into Africa: a personal journey, told about her first journey to West Africa, land of her ancestors. She traveled alone and her exposure to Nigeria's tight military control caused her to experience fear as never before. In Ghana, destiny led her to meet Adamson, who became her guide, doctor and more....The story left you breathless, wanting more.

Into Africa: the Return describes Blackwood's second journey to West Africa. This time she is accompanied by two American cousins Peabody, and her daughter, Marie. After 40 years, Cousin Peabody reunites with Afua, her Ashanti friend. Afua's brother dies the day before the three cousins arrive in Ghana and plans go awry. Peabody realizes that her previous refusal to visit Africa was unwarranted.

In Ghana, Blackwood meets her protégée Frieda and the dashing Pastor Ray for the first time. Frieda must overcome her bashfulness and try to warm up to her sponsor. A plan to visit Mali is shelved and Togo substituted. But is it safe to travel there without a native? Pastor Ray volunteers to accompany them a blessing in disguise.
