A love lost. A soul restored. A decade of secrets and separation.
It takes a child to lead them home.
American Dianna Calloway is committed to educating children in the thick of war-ravaged 1990s Southern Sudan. Hampered by disease, a corrupt government and a warlord who is harboring a mysterious young boy, Dianna’s passionate calling to help others in a dangerous country is only complicated by the chance meeting of a long-lost love. Faced with the choice to pursue integrity and justice or reconnect with the man she still holds dear, Dianna must make the most difficult decision of her life.
About the Author

Kathryn wrote her debut novel in response to 9/11’s Ground Zero, because she wanted to center and align people and shift societal prejudices and labels. As a young adult, she devoured novels by writers who cared about social justice. As a quirky, weird child, Kathryn wanted to shift the world through words and stories. Every summer she sat on a wooden porch swing, listening to friends and relatives weave stories of the day. Yet she wanted to leave and live far beyond that porch. Kathryn graduated Phi Beta Kappa in English from Hollins University and earned her graduate degree in Publications Management from George Washington University. She’s lived and worked in Europe and Africa, traveling throughout the Middle East.
