Escape from Africa: Cast out from home, driven by hope

Escape from Africa
Cast out of her homeland, driven by hope

When young Kenyan Mercy joins a protest movement in Nairobi, she has no idea that this step will change her life forever. The government, which she once felt was protecting her, turns against her, and Mercy becomes a hunted woman in her own country. Fleeing the regime's violence, she ventures a dangerous path across the vastness of East Africa - without money, without papers and without a safe destination.

Her journey takes her across the border into Tanzania, through untamed landscapes that are as breathtaking as they are unforgiving, and into the shadows of the city of Arusha, where she fights for her safety and dignity every day. Mercy not only has to brave the adversities of nature and the dangers of the road, but also the mistrust of people and her own insecurity - always in search of a place that offers her a second chance.

In the heart of Tanzania, she meets Ingrid, a German dropout who has also turned her back on her homeland, albeit for very different reasons. For Ingrid, Germany has become a place of lost freedoms - for Mercy, however, it remains the epitome of an unattainable dream. This unexpected friendship becomes a ray of hope for Mercy, but her journey is far from over.

"Escape from Africa" is a poignant story of courage, hope and the unwavering will to find a place of freedom in a world that knows more borders than bridges. Experience Mercy's fight for a better life - a physical and emotional journey that shows how far the human spirit is willing to go to find dignity, security and freedom. A novel that touches the heart and shakes it up - a tribute to the strength of those who never give up.
