Produktbeschreibung

"Discover "The Rainbow Years," an engaging and heartwarming memoir of Rachel, an extraordinary woman who has lived through 81 colourful and inspiring years. Follow her journey as she navigates life's challenges, from the struggles of wartime Britain to the vibrant cultures and personal trials she encounters in Africa.

Born during World War II to a military father and a devoted mother, Rachel's childhood is a fascinating reflection of life in post-war Britain. Raised by her loving family and supported by her strong faith, Rachel experiences her father's medical training, a life-changing journey to Africa as missionaries in Rwanda, and her education intertwined with her family's mission work. Accompanied by Irene Coleman, a heartbroken friend seeking solace, they face the challenges and joys of their new life together. While attending a small school for missionary children, Rachel contracts polio, an illness that would shape her life, but not define her. Sent back to England for treatment and recovery, Rachel's resilience shines through as she clings to her beloved teddy bear, Monday. Returning to Africa, she attends an English secondary school in Kenya during the tumultuous Mau Mau uprising. Rachel's passion for education takes her to Homerton College, Cambridge, where she trains as a teacher before returning to Kenya as a missionary herself.

This captivating memoir combines poignant tales of love, loss, and personal growth with Rachel's inspiring resilience and courage. From her time as a missionary in Africa to her eventual return to England, where she continues to teach and live in Sussex, "The Rainbow Years" is an unforgettable journey through a life well-lived. Don't miss the opportunity to delve into this remarkable story of hope and the power of the human spirit."
