Till You Come Back To Me by Chicki Brown
Driven to make a
difference in the lives of the injured and deformed, Atlanta plastic surgeon,
Charles Stafford gives up his successful practice to work with a medical
organization in Nigeria. Awaiting him at the small village hospital is the
beautiful and compassionate nurse, Adanna Okoro, who is everything he has ever
wanted in a woman.
Adanna has returned to
her homeland after graduation from a London nursing school. Her two desires in
life are to help the sick in her nation and to marry a smart, motivated man.
Charles enters her life like an answer from heaven, but cultural differences
separate them. Adanna must choose between tradition and the man she has come to
love.
~Excerpt~
The hospital staff and
their guests settled under a white canopy covering two tables laden with bowls
and platters. Nurse Okoro introduced their servers, three women from the village
dressed in colorful traditional clothing and head wraps. Dr. Ijalana asked the
women to serve the assistants first and instructed them to take turns checking
on the patients. Charles bowed his head and silently offered a prayer over the
food. Even though it smelled wonderful, most likely it contained ingredients he
would never have eaten. The facilitator at the briefing mentioned the necessity
of being careful not to insult the locals in any way, and one of those ways was
by refusing food they had prepared. When he raised his head and opened his
eyes, Nurse Okoro was studying him with a hint of a smile.
