An incorrigible wanderer, Shaffer has a habit of fleeing domesticity for the joys and rigors of the open road.  This time her destination is Ghana, and what results is a transformative year spent roaming the African continent. Eager to transcend the limitations of tourism, Shaffer works as a volunteer, building schools and hospitals in remote villages. At the heart of her tale are the profound, complex, often challenging relationships she forms with those she meets along the way.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWhether recounting a perilous boat trip to Timbuktu, a night of impassioned political debate in Ghana, or a fumbled romance in Burkina Faso, Shaffer portrays the collision of African and North American cultures with self-deprecating humor and clear-eyed compassion.  Filled with warmth, candor, and an exuberant sense of adventure, \u003cb\u003eSomebody’s Heart is Burning\u003c\/b\u003e raises provocative questions about privilege, wealth, and the true meaning of friendship.","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43412811022591,"sku":"9781400032594","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781400032594_s600x595.jpg?v=1782319688","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781400032594","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
