Anne Hillerman, Author of the Chee/Leaphorn/Manuelito mysteries including The Way of the Bear, 2023
Caroline Miller has gifted us with a compelling story full of hope, adventure, and friendship. She offers an intimate look at a young woman who transforms a heartbreaking disappointment into a life of deep purpose. The book resonates with original descriptions of the landscape and people she encounters in England and Africa, and is gently laced with self-deprecating humor.
