How do you find yourself again when everything is lost?
Amber Stevens is a journalist for a prestigious magazine in contemporary New York City. She is passionate about her work, and she is one of those lucky people who have the job and the life they have always wanted.
A sudden phone call gives an unexpected and heart-breaking turn to Amber’s life: a car crash wipes away her world as she knows it, wrecking the very meaning of her life. For endless days and nights, Amber lets herself fade away in a pit of desperation: how to overcome the deepest grief? How to find a sense in living?
Pushed by the affection and determination of her best friend, Rachel, Amber will decide to look for a way back to life. She will embark on a solitary and unexpected journey through the eternal landscapes of Africa, where she will walk through places, cultures, peoples, and heartwarming encounters with the wild animals of the Savannah.
The novel AFRICA is an intimate quest to explore the truth about people: the ancient beauty of the environment and the concrete struggles of its inhabitants will force Amber to look deeper inside her soul and rediscover her priorities. She will be constantly pushed and pulled between astonishing shows of nature and stabbing emotions, in a revealing travel across Southern Africa.
Highly recommended, really draws you in
So I got this book because it's on Kindle Unlimited. I didn't know what to expect, but it was actually really good for an unknown author. Africa is a truly captivating story of a woman who finds herself taking an unexpected journey. There is an amazing attention to character and plot development and the level of richness really draws you in. If you've ever experienced any sort of tragedy or grief in your life, you'll really be able to relate to what the main character is going through, and even if you haven't, the story will certainly strike a chord. All in all, I found it really hard to put this one down. Happy the author wrote a book before this because I'm going to check that out next, and hopefully there are more to come!

This is a wonderful and touching novel that epitomizes how life is all ...
This is a wonderful and touching novel that epitomizes how life is all about the journey, not the destination. In it, we follow a woman along her emotional journey dealing with the loss of a loved one and her physical journey traveling through Africa. The detail used to describe every travel location makes you feel like you are physically there in Africa, eating the food and meeting the people. The character development brings our protagonist to life in a way that we can all relate to. I laughed and cried, and enjoyed every page. Really beautiful read -- highly recommend!
