SAFARI MINE: An African Odyssey 1928-1937

Henriette "Jenny" Kerschon's 21st birthday is nothing to celebrate. She is out of work, out of money, and returning home to the gloomy German village she has tried so hard to escape. But little does Jenny know her ship is about to come in, a ship with the funny name of Watussi, and soon she will trade her troubles in Weimar Germany for a new life in Africa. Jenny's decade-long odyssey will carry her from the windswept heights of Cape Town to the sweltering depths of the Belgian Congo...and finally back to the heart of Nazi Germany, where Jenny will have to confront an evil she never thought possible. SAFARI MINE is based on a true story. It is a chapter of history few know about...except those who lived it. "Expect great things from Mr. Greatshell."--Nate Kenyon, author of Sparrow Rock
