In 1980, I was thirty years old, and my son, ten, when we traveled to Guinea, then a closed country in West Africa. My fiancé was a geologist working in a diamond exploration camp in Baoule Valley, near Kérouané. During my time there I kept a diary. Once back in the United States, I wrapped the diary in a silk scarf and tucked it away. I had had planned to return to Guinea and the diamond camp, but life took me in a different direction. I didn't open and read the diary until autumn of 2023, forty-four years later.

Vivid storytelling by the author as she recalls a captivating and unique experience, finding herself as "cook" (with very limited recourses) in an African diamond exploration camp in remote Guinea. Her writing brings the reader into the heart of the story as a direct observer. Detailed imagery entwined with beautiful analogies make you feel as though you were there guided by her through all the ups and downs of human relationships, love, and life. For all those who can identify with self discovery and the ever enduring human spirit. This book exemplifies the authors ability to tell a captivating story of courage, compassion, and unwavering commitment to finding love and meaning in the most unexpected of places.
