Alkina Jarvis reckons the best way to deal with the end of her marriage is to travel from Australia to Africa to volunteer.

Don Cloutier, the island’s doctor, struggles with his demons; drink, women and temptation. Will he stop comparing himself to Kendwa and perhaps win Ali’s heart?
Shaun Flannery is Ali’s handsome neighbour and friend. Can he make her see sense, or is he just wasting his time?
Ali drawn to Kendwa, but his past comes back to haunt them both?
When a medical emergency sends Ali racing home to Australia, she renews her family bonds, uncovers a new betrayal and finds an inner strength from her time with Kendwa in exotic Zanzibar and the wilds of Africa.
But on her return to the island, will the grief of what she finds overwhelm her?

This book was previously published as The Zanzibar Moon.
"You actually have a lot of content in the book and the story line is an interesting "Chick Lit" and reminded me of Janet Evanovich series a lot. The mix of dialogue and locations made the book move and the way that the character travelled allowed you to explore lots of options for material. I could tell you had written it - it really came from your soul and your experiences/loves. There is a real mix of chick lit, travel, suspense and tear jerking." - Angela Spzjoda (owner of 360 Degree Wellness)
"I loved it. I really felt like I was walking the narrow lanes of Zanzibar and that I was taken on an African safari. It was a unique and beautifully written story. I haven't read anything like it." - Valerie Ibbotson (retired)
"I finished reading The Zanzibar Moon and absolutely loved it, Donna. I didn't predict the ending either. It's exotic, funny and full of adventure. It's also inspired me to go to Zanzibar one day." - Leesa Bennett (volunteer teacher abroad)
"I thoroughly enjoyed being in Africa. I think women will love reading this, as it is most women's fantasy at some point." - Tracy Wilkinson (avid reader)
"I am really impressed by the book, you have really done your homework and if I did not l know any better I would have sworn that you have lived in Africa for a period of time. You have captured life here so well with the chaos, the beauty, the nature, even down to the sometimes not so pleasant aromas (haha). The story line is great and the characters are interesting. I also like how you have put the relevant chapters in the first tense for Alkina and Dr Don. It lets you get closer to the character I think. I showed some of the Swahili to my colleague and as far as she could tell you were spot on." - Kerry Zillner (UN worker in Africa)
