My Zimbabwean Odyssey Sheila V Hartwell

My book tells of my return to my beloved homeland, Zimbabwe, some fifteen years after my last visit. Before arriving, I am forewarned that I will weep at the state of the country, and I share with the reader my shock and sadness at what I find-a nation once considered the breadbasket of Africa is now reduced to a basket case. I return, too, to the Harare Children's Home where I grew up, and as I am shown around, I am transported back to the early sixties, taking the reader with me as I share memories-good, bad, and amusing-of a place that I shall forever be grateful to and that will always have a very special place in my heart.
