 Monique and the Mango Rains: Two Years with a Midwife in Mali by Kris HollowayMonique and the Mango Rains is the true story of the life and death of a remarkable West African midwife, seen through the eyes of a young Peace Corps Volunteer who worked side-by-side with her, birthing babies and caring for mothers, in a remote, impoverished village. It is a rare tale of friendship that reaches beyond borders to vividly and irrevocably unite another woman's world with our own. "There have been many accounts of studying people from other cultures, but few of actually being friends with them. Anyone who is curious about what such a friendship feels like from the inside should read this respectful but intimate account. " --Anne Fadiman, author, The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down Paperback 214 pages - (7/06)
