The Sons Of Adam;

stories of Somalia.

Plot

Drawing upon direct experiences as a missionary teacher, Omar Eby has written a number of short stories which range from the subtle-simple to the intensely dramatic. Though the details and human material are clearly derived from Somalia, the people, whether missionaries or nations, and the matrices of their situations, are convincingly universal. Here, refreshingly, one encounters missionaries who are unromanticized. Their humanity, whether magnanimous or sinful, is portrayed with candor and sympathy. Eby's intense love of the land and the Somali people is reflected in every story.
