Summary
Twelve stories and three poems are compiled into an anthology with three distinct sections--Africa, Americans in Africa, and Africans in America--that captures the struggles and sacrifices of life as experienced by people on two totally different continents.
Amazon.com description: Product Description:

What is it like to grow up in different parts of Africa today?

And what's it like to be a child of two cultures -- an American living in Africa, or an African living in America?

In South Africa visit the Bushman Farm, where a lonely girl meets a group of Bushmen who are making their living as a tourist attraction -- and finds friendship and family as she's never known them before. In Tanzania join an American family on an unforgettable safari whose highlights include a broken car, a camp of armed men, heat, tsetse flies, and laughter. In Los Angeles be surprised by what happens when a teenage veteran from war in Sierra Leone comes into conflict with a local gang leader.

Jane Kurtz, who is herself a child of two cultures -- Ethiopia and America -- has gathered a remarkable collection of voices. These twelve stories and three poems sing of Africa, of America, and of people changing, growing, crying, and laughing under the same sun.
