African Hearts

By Laura OConnell

Description:

Wealthy business owner, Gina Messina, aches for a place to belong.
Leader of Gumboli village, Dr. Kam Bonsu, hungers for peace in his heart.
Gina's nephew, eight year old Justin, wants to stay in Gumboli with his beloved lion, Maucho, and best friend, Kizza.
Gina's brother Marco, whose death brings the three together has left a legacy for Gina to consider.
But they all have one thing in common: the untamed spirit of Africa embeds itself within their hearts, daring them to grasp all that Africa has to offer and change what couldn't be changed.

Why the author wrote this book:

I had a major change in my life. I used to work in the world of numbers, but God took me from there and called me to write. Gina's story is similar to my own except I haven't been to Africa, but I've transitioned from one career to another because of God's grace. At the end of reading this book I want my reader to think about whether they are fulfilling their destiny just like Gina has.
