Years later the American seeks out his black friend in colonial Africa and falls in love with the Dark Continent. A brief love affair produces a white child causing Andreas’ odyssey to take a turn into the next generation. The motherless white child is placed in the care of the black man’s family.
Two boys one white one black are raised as brothers, despite the outrage of the white over-lords.
Violence, spiced with the slave trade, romance and pre WWII Africa are the backdrop for this compelling story of a world separated by the color of one’s skin.
The heart-warming humanity and the harmony of the races are the focus of this Author’s history; skillfully told in this historic setting. This adventure gives the reader a look into the past and how it influences present-day Africa.
