Mary Hanford Bruce
What they're saying about this brilliant first novel: '¿bold exploration of a woman adrift in Africa, caught in the turmoil of her own defeated past and in the possibilities offered by her current swirls of chaos. It's a compelling story, told with authority and grace.' Fred Leebron Author of Out West, Six Figures, and In the Middle of All This '¿ a maiden novel rife with compact, memorable word pictures.' J. Dwight Dobkins Co-author of Winnie Ruth Judd: The Trunk Murders '¿refreshing, well-told story written with a combination of force and sensitivity that captures the wondrous complexities of Africa, its people, and the precious vulnerability of the human experience.' Freddie Lee Johnson III Author of Bittersweet and A Man Finds His Way '¿an incomparable source of information on the African experience. After reading the book, I felt as if I had been on a trip to Cameroon.' Alma H. Bond, Ph.D. Author of Who Killed Virginia Woolf? 'In Dr. Sally, Mary Hanford Bruce has created a complex character as driven by her need for love as she is by her desire to grow. The African jungle is a rich landscape for this desperate search for self-awareness.' Dr. Kathleen DeGrave Author of Company Woman
