HERE'S WHAT REVIEWERS AND READERS HAVE SAID ABOUT "Inside Kenya - Creating Tomorrow"
“Although set in Africa, Sandra Harper’s book touches a universal human yearning for a better life and a kinder world. She has put together an extraordinary collection of vividly told first person stories from Kenyan men and women who, although born into poverty, stride forward with courage, stoicism, and determination. Among other compelling vignettes, Harper interviews a Kenyan fighter for women’s rights, an impassioned teacher, and a dedicated social worker battling to overcome the scourge of AIDS. In exploring the lives of her protagonists, it is their songs of triumph, which echo jubilantly against the African sky. And which, in turn, echo in our own minds and hearts long after we turn the final page.”
--Margaret Deefholts, Author, Haunting India

Traveling the Sun By |
|
Sandra Harper's career is finished; her son is dead. Everything seems out of kilter. Nothing is right with her world. She decides on a whim to go on a journey to sun-filled lands of the Mediterranean - to places that have no memories. Her traveling companion is a woman she barely knows. As they traveled during Ramadan, through Morocco and Tunisia, she begins to change as she faces unique adventures and daily challenges. One of the hurdles she encounters results in her spending overnight in a Bedouin tent deep in the Tunisian Sahara. Later, in Spain, she joins two friends in a hilarious stay in a rural village. In the end, this journey to unfamiliar places transformed her. TRAVELLING THE SUN is written with spirit and eloquence. Ever focused on the details of places and characters, Sandra Harper reflects with clarity and compassion on others' lives and her own. Weaving together an insightful glimmer of Muslim life with her own moving journey of healing and change, she provides the reader with a book that opens the windows to a wondrous world of hope in chaotic times. |
HERE'S WHAT REVIEWERS AND READERS HAVE SAID ABOUT "Traveling the Sun"
“A deftly written blending of memoir and travelogue, Traveling The Sun: A Healing Journey in Morocco, Tunisia and Spain by travel writer, public speaker, consultant and volunteer Sandra Harper is her personal story of how she coped with the untimely death of her son from leukemia and her own brush with cancer by taking a journey to the Mediterranean. Seeking places that would evoke no memories of the painful past, Sandra's travelogue provides the reader with glimpses of Muslim life along with the story of her own journey to heal and change, to recapture the joy of life and the wonder of a world that offers hope in even the most chaotic times. As inspiring and engaging as it is informative and entertaining, Traveling The Sun is enthusiastically recommended reading.”
--MidWest Book Review
“She has turned her grieving into an experience for growth and her story into a message of hope as she reminds us that the ultimate answer to the pain of a great loss lies within ourselves.”
--Anne O’Connor, Consultant
“Sandra Harper gives us another view of sunlight. She tells the true story of a journey she took that mirrored her journey of inner healing. …She meets an overly needy middle-aged woman named Diane at London’s Heathrow Airport. After a fervent question-and-answer session, they decide to travel together. But there’s trouble. As she makes her way through Morocco during Ramadan with this overgrown child, she gains insight into herself.”
--Reviewed in THE VANCOUVER SUN, June19, 2004
“I am into your book and finding your style so easy and conversational, but deceptively seductive. I hate to put it down."
--Darlene Harris, Delta Hospice Society
“I’ve already finished your book and enjoyed it very much. Quite a story. Wonderful travel descriptions and it took me back to all the times I have been in similar circumstances. Diane was given to you as some sort of challenge."
--Anne Lowe, Librarian, Surrey School District
