Good Read - The White Masai

Oh my goodness, best book I've read in a long time. If you love adventure travel, you must run, not walk, and pick up this book. Even better? She has two follow up books, both of which I've already requested (if you live in Hawaii, the library system has all three books).

If you'd appreciate a summary of the book, this was taken from Amazon. But really, it does it no justice:

The runaway international bestseller is now an American must-read for lovers of adventure, travel writing, and romance. Corinne Hofmann tells how she falls in love with an African warrior while on holiday in Kenya. After overcoming severe obstacles, she moves into a tiny hut with him and his mother, and spends four years in his Kenyan village. Slowly but surely, the dream starts to crumble, and she hatches a plan to return home with her daughter, a baby born of the seemingly indestructible love between a white European woman and a Masai. Compulsively readable, The White Masai is at once a hopelessly romantic love story, a gripping adventure yarn, and a fine piece of meticulously observed social anthropology.

I will say that as much as I took great joy in following her life in Africa...that I could never, not even for a few million dollars, have survived what she endured.
