Crossing Paths

Two girls are born in the new country of Tanzania, but into very different circumstances. Joy is a village girl, painfully aware of her limited education, a domestic worker often desperate for work to support her family. Neema comes from a powerful family, well-known for their work towards Independence. She becomes a doctor with an important position in the Ministry of Health. But each must struggle for self-respect and as they do, their lives intersect in a twist of fate, which changes them forever. Crossing Paths encourages readers to consider integrity in an unfamiliar culture -- and reminds us that, across cultures, we are still more alike than different.
