  When she arrived at a clinic, usually five hundred, sometimes a thousand people were there to greet her. Helen's reputation as the unstoppable Mama Luka had gone before her - she could do more to heal a sick child or baby than all the witch doctors in the area combined. This was the work God had called her to pioneer, and that belief encouraged her. Helen Roseveare served as a medical missionary in the Congo during one of the most chaotic periods in the nation's history. Arriving in 1953, Helen felt God lay on her heart the task of training future nurses to provide desperately needed medical care in the Congo. Helen worked tirelessly as a doctor in the villages and jungles, training medical workers and overseeing the building of hospitals. Gifted with an incredible amount of strength and energy, Helen yearned to see the Congo flourish. Even in the face of violence during the struggle for independence from Belgian colonial rule, Helen refused to give up

  WOMEN SPACE PIONEERS is a profile of the lives and experiences of the first eight women astronauts in the U.S. space program when they all became astronauts, and their impact on the future of women's participation in space exploration.  What makes this audiobook absolutely UNIQUE is that seven of these astronauts were personally interviewed and their unfiltered and uncensored interviewed memories of their trials and tributlations of that era is presented here in their own words - Dr. Sally Ride, Dr. Kathy Sullivan, Dr. Anna Fisher, Dr. Rhea Seddon, Dr. Shannon Lucid, Dr. Bonnie Dunbar, and Dr. Mary Cleave.  In addition, interviews were also conducted and included here of some of the men who also flew with these women (Admiral TK Mattingly & Capt. Dave Walker), along with some of the top NASA officials of those days at the Johnson Space Center (Dr. Carolyn Huntoon & George Abbey).  There's also 3 songs by the noted singer, Jae Cie, who produced them as a tribute to their pioneering spirit.  This audiobook's introduction and epilogue are presented by NICHELLE NICHOLS, who portrayed the first woman astronaut on TV as communication officer Lt. Uhura in the original Star Trek TV series, and was an active recruiter of these women for NASA.

Her regard for the rules and investigative skills are put to the test as she unravels the dark truth of what happened to the family that once lived there. 
  "Absolutely magical." 
  "This book is addictive." 
  "A heart-wrenching and heart-warming book." 
  "Do NOT read this when you should really be going to bed... because you'll keep telling yourself just one more chapter... and then you'll end up staying awake far too late (and may even oversleep the next day)."
