Dr. Courtney McCloud, a native African herself, leaves her medical clinic in another part of Zimbabwe, upon the urging of Dr. Quentin Coopersmith, from Seattle. Dr. Coopersmith - Coop to his friends -is part of an organization called HEAL. They ask Dr. Courtney McCloud to attend to the refugees from Mozambique, who desperately needs help. Accompanying her is her close friend and nurse, an Irish nun, Sister Mara. Together they set up a clinic to help these refugees, fleeing from a country the world has ignored for too many years to find salvation offered by two women in the midst of nowhere.
West of the Moon is the story of the nobility of the human spirit, of people whose rewards are not monetary, who spend their lives putting others first and in so doing reach an heroic level, and in the middle of the war, find love. It shows how even just a few people can make a big difference.
Although West of the Moon is a sequel to my first book, East of the Sun, it stands alone, taking place ten years after the first book ended. It is a story, again, of Africa, in Zimbabwe, on the border of Mozambique, the poorest country on earth, where a 17 year old war still wages. No one seems to understand what it's about, but hundreds and even thousands are fleeing into Zimbabwe, without anything except what is on their backs.
BARBARA BICKMORE wrote her first short story at seven and has been writing ever since. Her dream to become a published writer came true when EAST OF THE SUN was published in 1988. As her heroines grow they become women who make a difference and don't settle for living life the way society dictates. Readers will experience sorrow, pain, happiness, romance, love and will enjoy growing with the heroines as they rise to life's challenges.
BARBARA BICKMORE relates her writing career to living in a Fairy Tale - her Cinderella story has allowed her to travel all over the world and to experience life in different places and through different cultures. BARBARA BICKMORE once said, "Being a writer is the most difficult work I've ever done, because there is absolutely nothing and no one but me and my mind. It's scary, in fact petrifying because I'm always afraid maybe there's nothing there, no thoughts or words to put on a page. Yet the joy, and sometimes ecstasy, is that something comes, a book is created, and I get these marvelous feelings of pride and even astonishment that I wrote what I wrote. I'm still surprised that people pay to read what I write and think. It is a dream come true that all my books are on library shelves!"
BARBARA BICKMORE books have been translated into 16 languages and have been published in 22 countries. Women all over the world enjoy her stories and her heroines. BARBARA BICKMORE heroines are for the thinking woman, they are women who make a difference.
