edit data

I write novels on South Sudan. If you are interested in Africa, social justice, and ending extreme poverty, then you might enjoy this fictional heroine, Maria, and her family saga based on real events.

I fell in love with Africa in the 1970s when I spent nine months in a Harambee school in Kenya built and resourced by the local community with help from overseas volunteers.

I have returned ever since through visits, reading, and writing. Short term missions with a peace and reconciliation charity working with the Episcopal Church of South Sudan have given me an insight into the ordinary lives of the people , and the hardships they face.

A Joyful Revolution

I went to a book launch a few days ago. A friend has written about how ATD Fourth World’s work with families in distress started at Frimhurst Family House. It tells the inspiring story of a young woman, Mary Rabagliati, who refused to settle for her parent’s ambitions that she make a good marriage and instead struck out on her own to build a better life for struggling families.
