Willard Thrasher Card III, from Cardston, Alberta, Canada embarks on an African adventure as a freshly-minted development expert. His assignment to Malawi dissolves just as he makes the disastrous decision to start a business and move his young family to Africa with him. With the help of new-found African friends, his family moves to Zambia and stumbles their way through several business failures. Eventually they find some success and recognize that Africa runs on a small balance of favors. This humorous fictional account is based on some real-life experiences and insights into modern Africa by an author who has worked in Africa for nearly thirty years.
