Publisher's Synopsis

When a 15 year old Caucasian blonde haired, blue eyed girl from New Orleans accompanies her Christian missionary parents to the deepest forest in Kenya, Africa in search of those African tribes not yet affected by the Arabic influence, she meets and falls in love with a 17 year old African Waswahili boy that belongs to such a tribe. When her parents discover she is pregnant, they fly her back to New Orleans and place her in a home for unwed pregnant girls. Before she is forced to place her baby into the foster system, she insists on naming him what his father wanted him named....Chacha Boro. Seventeen years later, Chacha visits a dentist. On that visit, when lightning strikes the drill the dentist is using on Chacha's back molar, his whole life undergoes a dramatic change. Having been told his mother was so heartbroken over having to place him into the foster system that she committed suicide at the age of 16, he is determined to find his father. So, at the age of 18 years, when he is kicked to the street by the foster system he grew up in with only the clothes on his back and his Birth Certificate in hand, he begins his journey to Africa to find his father and hopefully a sense of identity.
