Bee Bloeser

Another virus. Another pandemic. Countries on opposite sides of an ideological divide cooperate to rid the world of a disease.

With wide-eyed ideals and two young children, Bee eagerly follows her husband to Africa. While he helps eradicate smallpox, her naïveté about foreign aid and life in international service is chipped away by tribal pogroms, women denied education, and a dictator who tortures and kills anyone who crosses him. Bee pushes danger and isolation to the back of her mind, keeping cryptic notes and hiding them in the sock drawer. Be among the first to read her eye-opening memoir.
