In June of 2002, a very strange ceremony begins in a far-flung village in western Kenya. An American diplomat is surrounded by hundreds of Maasai people. A gift is about to be bestowed upon the American men, women, and children, and he’s there to accept it. The gift is as unexpected as it’s odd.
A mere nine months have passed for the reason that September 11 attacks, and hearts are raw as these legendary Maasai warriors offer their gift to a grieving people half a world away. Word of the gift will trip newswires all over the world, and for the heartsick American nation, the gift of fourteen cows emerges from the choking dust and darkness as a soft light of hopeā€•and friendship.
This New York Times best seller recounts the real story from Wilson Kimeli Naiyomah of a touching gift bestowed on america by a tribe of Maasai Warriors in the wake of the September 11th attacks. With the stunning paintings of Thomas Gonzalez, master storyteller Carmen Agra Deedy hits all of the right notes in this elegant story of generosity that crosses boundaries, nations, and cultures.
