Ruth Linnea Whitney's debut novel is set in a small African country at the start of the AIDS epidemic. The aged president is more aggrieved by a journalist calling his country tiny than by the presence of the disease decimating it. The novel centers on eight people awaking one dry season to the scourge among them--a divorced young American orthopaedist, a fifty-eight-year-old Scotswoman of faith and gynecologist by profession, an idealistic African journalist, a short-sighted president of a backward country, an ancient healer, a feckless father ruined by promiscuousness and greed, an ill-fated mother far from her native village, and a boy whose prophetic images haunt the heart of the novel.
