Congo Terror

Beschreibung

James leaned over toward Julia, grabbed her hand securely, and exhaled deliberately. He felt sorry that his cocky attitude almost got him killed, and in front of Julia. Julia and James, former high school sweethearts, meet up thirteen years after graduation in Eastern Congo. Julia is a volunteer nurse and James is a Special Forces soldier. The reunion is a surprise, but romance quickly begins to rekindle. A trip to a Congolese friend's garden turns terrifying when James and Julia are abducted by a group of notorious rebel soldiers bent on using their captives to leverage a broader control of the Masisi region. Their early love, dormant for more than a decade, blossoms amid the horrific conditions of captivity in a rebel encampment. The two become a beautiful, unified team as a hope for a successful escape moves from a plan to a riveting reality. Congo Terror offers horror, hope, and simple love in one of the deadliest places on Earth.

In 2003, Chrisann Dawson found herself with a broken leg and a toddler to care for. Each afternoon during nap time, she would work on this book, her first... "Congo Crisis." Since 2003, "Congo Crisis" has itself gone through many changes.Although the book is fictionalized, every event that the characters lived through were experienced by Chrisann and her family. She and her husband Gale, along with their three children, lived in the Congo, Africa (formerly Zaire) for seven years doing mission work. They learned the Lingala language, became emersed in the culture, and established lifelong friendships with the Congolese people, who continue to do the work of their non-profit mission, Rise Congo.Chrisann now lives in Payson, Arizona, where she works part-time for the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension, doing vision and hearing screenings for preschool children in her county. She also works as a member of a chaplain team with Gale at Payson Christian Clinic, and she continues to pursue her writing dreams.
