Monique and the Mango Rains: Two Years with a Midwife in Mali by Kris Holloway

5.0

Starting the reading, I was skeptical that I would be reading from the point of view of a Peace Corps volunteer with a savior complex. Instead, what I found was a volunteer who stayed true to their character, a powerful friendship growing, and the hardships of a midwife in Mali.

Holloway told the story of Monique in such a beautiful way, it felt like I knew Monique myself.
