Ten Cow Woman: An Ethiopian Tale

Ten Cow Woman sweeps the reader into the heart of Ethiopia to tell the compelling story of Yeshi, an orphan who comes of age during a time when political upheaval and devastating famine rage across Ethiopia. Journey with Yeshi and her recalcitrant companion, Tsinat, as they travel on foot across the vivid landscape toward the capital city of Addis Ababa in a quest to discover the truth of Yeshi's origin. Yeshi battles through hunger and thirst, a willful mule, a witch doctor's evil ministrations, and an attack of yellow fever before she stumbles upon a shocking truth. And through it all, Yeshi must discover for herself what her value is. Can she really be worth ten cows?
