Synopsis:
What would you do if you were trying to return to the United States after vacationing in a foreign country and you were delayed in the airport? When it becomes apparent that momentary delay is in reality your abduction, how would you feel? Who would you cry out to?
Aisha Kone doesn’t know who to cry out to when her twenty-first birthday surprise trip to Africa becomes abduction. All that she knows how to do is try to survive in a world of high infant mortality rates, unsanitary water and sewage treatment systems, disease, famine, and teenage prostitution. Aisha struggles to maintain her sanity although her world has turned topsy-turvy. And, in true real woman fashion, she exacts revenge on all of perpetrators after escaping then makes preventing her catastrophe from happening to anyone else her life’s work.
Aisha’s story moves you, shakes you, and may even bring you to tears. Find out how Aisha’s heart is broken in addition to suffering in a foreign land when she finds out who’s behind her dilemma. It may break your heart as well.
