In this fiction book, Heather, a charitable girl recently graduated from high school leaves the comfort of her wealthy home in Florida to spend six months assisting at a charity hospital in Uganda. She leaves on the trip with a desire to make a difference in the world, and though she does achieve this goal in the service she renders, an even greater change is made in her as she learns to reach beyond herself and see others for the children of God they are. The trip is physically and emotionally draining for Heather, but the spiritual improvements in her life make everything worthwhile. While on this journey, she meets and falls in love with another member of her group, a handsome young man from Scotland named Ian. The two grow close together over the six months, and he finally expresses his love for her days before he dies while on a rescue mission of an infant. Heather finally goes home after she rescues the infant and reunites the infant with her older sister. The book is enjoyable and gives the reader the opportunity to grow along with the characters. Ian's death is disappointing and takes away from the happy ending I would have wanted, but it is still and overall good read.

This book was about Heather Barlow traveling to Uganda to help out the local citizens to reach their nessessity. She travelled by ship to reach to Uganda. During the trip, she met a friend named Ian McCollum. Ian was with Heather whenever she is nostalgic for home and grieve when a little child died. Ian and her had faced obstacles that deals with misery, death, diseases and war.I think it is book was okay but wasn't as good as what I expected. But overall, I learned a lot about how people lived in Uganda and what it was like. Similar to a television series in Chinese I watched this year even though it was played in 2003. They shared common themes. Such as saving a life, doing meaningful things in life and to help others in need.
