Finding Joy

By Glynis Dickins | ISBN 9780645165753

Fast forward to when Cruz has grown up. And, like his Aunty Alex and Uncle Ron, Cruz has been drawn to the country and people of Uganda. More particularly, Cruz has met a young lady and fallen deeply in love with her. But when he is unexpectedly summoned home to face a family crisis, Cruz’s girl disappears. Distraught with worry, the young man hastens to return to Uganda to begin a frantic search across that country to find his lost love. Fearing she has been ‘sold off’ or even trafficked, time seems to be against him. Can he find her before it is too late?

Join Cruz, his uncle Ron and translator friend Ben as they share their hopes, fears and travels to find love in Africa.
