Deep in the Sub-Saharan jungles, she finds a raw, primal passion that captures her in its unrestrained, animalistic grip.

Marnie Arbinger, a brilliant hematologist, had always found solace in the safety of her sterile laboratory. Now, out on the edge of civilization, life in rural Africa is harder than Marnie imagined.

It’s a race against time. Will a cure to the epidemic be found before Marnie becomes another of its casualties?
