"Land Of A Thousand Hills: My Life In Rwanda" – Synopsis
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. To leave the lap of luxury founded upon status and money for a life filled with political strife and social corrosion is not a choice many people would make, however Rosamond Halsey Carr is not like most people. The New Jersey socialite, whose career in fashion design helped establish her as one of the city's most prominent citizens, tried to rekindle the long-dormant passion in her marriage by accompanying her husband and famous big game hunter, Kenneth Carr, back to where he left his heart: Africa. Having little idea what to expect and even less understanding of how this one decision would forever change her life, Halsey Carr stepped into an utterly foreign existence void of status, money and sometimes even the basics of survival in order to answer a calling from her own heart. Kenneth and Rosamond may never have found what it was they went in search of to restore their relationship, however, she found within herself what it was that haunted her since childhood. No additional sources cited.
