Guinea Pig For Breakfast Andrea Gardiner

This is the remarkable true story of a young British doctor who travels to humid, insect-infested Ecuador and sets up a village health centre and child sponsorship scheme. As you read this honest account you will laugh and cry with Andrea as she battles against endless bureaucracy and the confusion of living in an alien culture. You will feel as though you have travelled to the village and met the friends she makes there. Young, free and single, and dedicated to her mission, Andrea is certainly not expecting to encounter love. Should she open her heart? Or will doing so lead to an end of all her dreams? This is the unforgettable account of lives touched and changed by heartbreaking tragedy and the transforming power of God´s redeeming love. The heart-stopping stories contained in this tapestry of despair and hope, loss and discovery will leave you inspired and challenged. "It's not easy to put this book down. It offers a colourful, insightful portrait of one woman's determination to make a difference in her world, regardless of cost. If you've ever been bored by the word 'missionary', then think again. This is the fascinating, inspiring account of a true adventurer. You'll love this - unless you're a guinea pig".
