Book summary
For one year, an American performance artist toured Africa, where she helped build a local school, made friends with villagers, contracted malaria, and wondered whether or not she should return home to the boyfriend who wanted to marry her. SOMEBODY'S HEART IS BURNING is her vivid memoir of that time.
