    About this ebook

    Set in Kenya during 1996, this engaging novel tells the story of Griff, who takes a job teaching at a small, struggling school in Nairobi. But how does a naive and privileged mzungu fit in? Throughout his tale, he will endure El Nino floods, bulldozed slums, street justice, and widespread corruption, all while trying to figure out his place.
