An old man who found love in the winter of his life; a woman forgotten by the world; a vagrant who was not quite what he appeared to be... These are just a few of the unusual encounters documented in this compendium of twelve short stories. Tales of a Nurse in Africa will shock, enamour and highlight the joys, sorrows and unexpected challenges that the profession of nursing can bring. These tales aim to give a voice to the voiceless and pay tribute to brave and selfless individuals that Cindy met - both patients and carers alike. Come on a journey to the heart of Africa and be prepared to be entranced by the people of this diverse, multicultural country.
