Ignoring the pleas of friends and colleagues and refusing to give in to nagging fears, Dr. James Judge divorced a life of privilege for an uncivilized village and an unknown people. Forever changed by a relief trip to Africa, he abandoned his practice, sold all his worldly belongings, and uprooted his family, giving up everything he once held dear to return to the remote village of Lamu, Kenya. In this unbelievably true story, Judge chronicles the remarkable people he encountered and what they taught him about mercy, compassion, and the power of the human spirit.
