Monique And the Mango Rains by Kris Holloway (2006, Paperback)

If you are really interested in the plight of a mother in Mali Africa you must read this book. A true story of Monique written by peace corp volunteer, Kris Holloway, this story tells of the plight of all pregnant women, especially those who have trouble delivering live babies. I was recently in Mali for a month working at a Women & Children's Hospital. The women now have a place to come for real help with their pregnancies if they have transportation to get there. It is often too late for the babies by the time they arrive several days after labor begins. The story gave me a bird's eye view of what to expect in this 3rd world country. It is well written and moves right along. I had trouble putting it down.

I emailed the seller, never got a response. I ordered the book the first week in February, it is now the first week in March. I would like my money back please and the $20.00 I had to go spend at a bookstore in order to get the book before it was due in the class I needed it for. NEVER EVER BUY FROM THIS SELLER THEY ARE HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
