Accustomed to navigating a world of medical emergencies, institutional politics, and donor-driven projects, two doctors-one Kenyan, one American-unexpectedly find themselves on the edge of an isolated refugee camp near Somalia at the wrong end of an automatic weapon. As the tale unfolds, an eclectic cast of characters grapples with challenges both delicately spiritual and abrasively physical, and in the ensuing dust storm, worldviews and agendas clash. Personal and humorous, Downing's carefully woven story is warmly human and deeply engrossing.
