Hi, Cha-dasia. I sincerely hope that you are having an awesome experience here on Wattpad .
Thank you ever so much for voting for Risking All for Love.
I began my story in the remote village of Bolahun , Liberia , where I served as a Peace Corps teacher at Holy Cross Mission .
Although Baby Margaux is not born of African parents, now and then babies of mothers who died in childbirth were indeed brought to the monastery.
Mike, who appears in the tea room scene, was married. His wife had a son, and he adopted an African baby. My children got to play with them years later in Germany.
My experiences in Africa are woven into the narrative , and real people have inspired my characters .
Among them is Mother Elizabeth, a character based on the life of Elizabeth Sele Mulbah (Google her name) who risked her life during Liberia's Civil War to provide the only medical help available in that area.
Enjoy my story.
