And don't be surprised if you find yourself swaying to the soulful melodies of the Makolobeng, their voices carrying on the breeze like desert spirits. And then there's the Okavango Delta, a jewel nestled in the heart of the desert. Imagine lush papyrus reeds bowing to the gentle current, hippos basking in the shallows like oversized watermelons, and a symphony of birdsong painting the air.

This, my friend, is just a glimpse, a whisper of the magic that awaits in Botswana. A land where adventure hides in every rustle of leaves, where serenity washes over you like the moonlight on the Okavango, and where stories dance on the wind like desert mirages. So, are you ready to lose yourself in the emerald embrace of the Delta, to track rhinos across the Kalahari sands, and to lose your heart to the rhythm of Botswana's beating soul? Come, then. Turn the page, and let the journey begin. I promise, Botswana will leave you breathless, sun-kissed, and yearning for more. And who knows, you might just find yourself writing your own chapter in this unforgettable tale.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite having everything she could ask for, Janet Wilson couldn’t shake a sense of emptiness in her life—or her desire to return to the continent of her birth. After much back-and-forth, she and her husband reached an agreement: they would embark on a daring adventure, driving 25,000 miles across Africa. What they couldn’t anticipate then was how this trip would challenge almost every belief, opinion, and value they held. Over the course of their journey, Janet and her husband collided with the world and each other. There were tears and laughter. They shared thrilling highlights and challenges that forced them to negotiate and cooperate with one another. And after a heartbreaking tragedy and Janet’s arrest, they made critical decisions that transformed their relationship, bringing them to a level of trust and commitment they had never before experienced. Ultimately, this led them to a deeper understanding about their place in the world—and each other’s lives. A suspenseful and emotional true account that explores themes of love, commitment, resilience, and the power of forgiveness in the face of adversity, All You’ll See is Sky is a memoir of a woman’s transformation from brokenness to wholeness and a couple's transformation from breakdown to breakthrough.
Download or read book Joey the Boy from the Sky written by Fairbanks and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-08-15 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joey, the Boy from the Sky By Fairbanks Synopsis It is like a fairy tale, a modern-day fairy tale. The first part of this story is a mystery which builds to an absurd fantasy premise that the reader is encouraged to accept. To give it away would spoil it. The rest of the story is a quest for justice and for resolution. It is a story about a wholesome relationship between a man and a boy. The story reiterates universal truths about hope and about looking forward in life, as in this quote from a victim character at the end of the story: We must not wallow like pigs in the mud, feeling sorry for ourselves and blaming. But at the same time, we must never forget! The eccentric story is set in outback Australiaand Aboriginal Australiaand then in the nations capital, Canberra, and then preposterously in the Kalahari in Botswana. The central (title) character is a young boy-hero emotively but also realistically presented. Joey takes a large host of other characters and the worldand the readeron a yellow-brick-road adventure which captivates and inspires. Joey and his mentor / father figure, Adam, are rescued after The Escape by an Aboriginal family in the outback and then journey through an epic saga, trying to resolve an impossible quest to save Joeys people. In the end, the story is more than a quest but also a reflection on hope and inspiration in life. Always there is Joey. And everyone loves Joey.
