How many things can go wrong when retired surgeon Rob Garcia embarks upon a humanitarian medical mission in South Sudan? Dysentery, knee-deep mud, Ebola, cesareans and spear wounds, and, yes, even spitting cobras he can handle.

But Rob wasn't prepared for falling in love again, nor for dealing with the civil war that threatens his hospital, its patients and its dedicated staff.

In this novel inspired by actual events, Rob's ordeal teaches him not only how to provide medical care under hostile and bleak conditions, but it also opens his eyes to a world he's never seen - one which suffers from the afflictions of barbaric social injustice, sexual violence, and lack of access to care.
