The Red Clay of Burundi
- Price
- $12.99
When thirteen-year-old Barbara Emrys steps onto the red clay of Burundi, she feels as far from paradise as possible. Transported to a new world of vivid sights, smells, and sounds within an unfamiliar African country, she embarks on a mystical journey of self-discovery. Set against the backdrop of tribal genocide and the arrival of a new band called the Beatles, this lyrical memoir explores adolescent longing, forgiveness, and the search for God in the ordinary and extraordinary textures of life.
- A lush, poetic coming-of-age memoir set in an exotic and dangerous 1960s Africa
- Written by a longtime apprentice of Miguel Ruiz (The Four Agreements)
- A true story of spiritual transformation against the backdrop of genocide and Cold War intrigue
- The redemptive power of a single Beatles record in a lonely girl's life
“But that's not how paradise works. It waits behind a thousand doors in life, doors unopened by those unable to see beyond their own sweet suffering.”
Perfect for a reader of literary spiritual memoir and New Age/Toltec-influenced personal growth writing who enjoys lush, poetic prose about self-discovery and finding the divine in everyday life.
