Amharic Word of the Day

Dad - a-ba-ye (ah-bah-yay)

2 Books Down 2 To Go

So I finished reading My Fathers' Daughter by Hannah Pool and what an amazing story it is. Hannah Pool was adopted from Eritrea Africa by a British family as a baby in 1974. The book is about her journey to meeting her biological Father and Siblings as an adult. Beautiful and inspiring, I would recommend it to everyone.

I also recently finished This Is a Soul The Mission of Rick Hodes by Marilyn Berger. This fascinating true story is about Dr Rick Hodes who traveled to Africa two decades ago to help the victims of famine, 28 years later he is still there. What an incredible person this man is, his heart is so big and he lives every day to help more and more of Ethiopia's beautiful children.

I am now reading There Is No You Without Me and will write about that as soon as I am done...
