This is the story of Sandro Romano-Livi, a young Italian Jew, leaving his Mediterranean island by boat, for the Belgian Congo (DR Congo), in 1926, as a stowaway. Of his adventurous life in Central Africa, during the first fifteen years, of David-Kanza (aka Daviko), the mulatto son he adopts, a secret he will disclose to his white Anglican fiancée, Gloria Simpson, born and raised in Rhodesia (Zimbabwe). Of their two daughters, Astrid and Dalia. Of his family's difficult situation and of their hopes. Of the loss of his parents and baby sister, who were sent to a nazi concentration camp. Of his many travels in the African bush and of his ultimate success as a businessman. Of the family’s departure to northern Italy, where they will settle, just before Central Africa’s tragic events, whilst Sandro and Daviko will remain in Africa for a longer period. Of their love of the black continent and their incurable nostalgia. Of Astrid’s later humanitarian activities in Botswana and Malawi.
Evangeline Ross is a 17 year old girl who is super thrilled to go to Harvard, but when her parents tell her she's engaged to young and arrogant Jace Brimmington and can't go to college she ends up resenting him with all her heart. It doesn't help that he's her mate. Will he win her heart or give up on her. Time will soon tell...
Hey guys! This is my first book here on bookrix and I hope you guys really like it. It probably has a lot of spelling errors because I have no wifi so I'm using my tiny phone. P.S. I might be slow on updating cause this tiny phone is being difficult and is hella bothering me. :) hope you guys like it so far!! And I'll tell you guys when I can start updating more!
*Updated find out what happened!*
Hi. I'm Jordyn. Hi Diary. I'm not writing in you because you're a diary where girls write and hide their secrets and all. I'm writing in you, so when I'm old and I have grand children (hopefully not!) I'll be able to laugh back at it and make fun of myself. Let's get one thing straight. I will vaporize if ANYONE reads this. So if I never write in you again... you'll know the reason. Jordyn has a crush. A mega super crush on Zach Collins from Chemistry. He plays football and she does kickboxing. What happens when he finds her diary?

Erica was just a normal teenage girl. That is, until one day in a pool parking lot she is kidnapped. Now she must escape her kidnappers and find her way home, not knowing who to trust. She cant go to the police. The only thing she can rely on are the skills her father taught her while he was an FBI agent.
