Back from Africa

Part of The White Masai series

After enthralling readers around the world with her incredible story of falling in love with and marrying the Masai warrior Lketinga-and living with his family and their daughter in Kenya-Corinne Hoffmann recounts her return to Switzerland and the difficulties she faced. This frank and revealing memoir details how she built a new life for herself and her daughter while overcoming all obstacles with the same courage and optimism she employed in her life in the Kenyan outback. Once again, Hoffmann proves herself to be an acute observer and an effective storyteller, and her astonishing and compelling tale will captivate fans new and old.
