Description

When young Marty Brennan opts to swap his safe, happy life at the foot of the Knockmealdown Mountains in Co. Waterford for the strangeness and uncertainty of the African bush, his parents, Denis and Cissie are shocked. How can they manage without their precious only child? While his mother is prepared to accept Marty's decision, Denis is furious. His son hasn't even considered the lucrative career opportunities on offer from his excellent Leaving Certificate results! More importantly, who will be there to help him with the sheep, or carry on the family tradition of farming later on when they're not around?

We follow Marty's missionary progress on Africa - the ups and downs, achievements and disappointments, until he eventually discovers true contentment and happiness.
