How the Mzungu Finds Her Feet

Ruth Ross has just stepped off a plane in East Africa. She is full of expectation for the adventure ahead.

But how much does Ruth really know about him? In Africa, much as at home in Scotland, Ruth faces challenges in her work and in her personal life. Jealousy, lies, unimaginable tragedy and a life-changing choice test her as never before. Will she sink or swim?
