Place of
Cool Waters

When Jude Wilson decides to travel halfway across the world to visit the graves of his childhood Boy Scout heroes, he unwittingly signs up for a lot more than he imagined. Growing up in the placid little Pacific Northwest town of Clarksville could never adequately prepare him for what he encounters in the vibrant, mercurial streets of Nairobi, where context defines meaning and words alone are not always sufficient to communicate across a cultural gap. He meets Qadir Mohamed—the affable manager at the youth hostel where he is staying—and a valuable friendship develops between two people from disparate backgrounds with seemingly little in common.

Ndirangu Githaiga

Ndirangu believes that there is always time for stories, because a good story will outlive the drama and banalities of its day, sometimes being remembered long after the storyteller is gone.
Stories make a difference in our lives. Ndirangu learned from his grandmother, Cũcũ, the power of breathing life into characters’ tales through words, expression and song, just as she did while captivating the imaginations of her grandchildren. Ndirangu believes the art of storytelling is just as important as the story being told.
