Book excerpt: Set in East Africa in the late 1990s, NIGHTRUNNER, is part love story, part road adventure, part quest. After escaping an abusive relationship and surviving a difficult and dangerous journey through Uganda and across the border into Nairobi, Sarra Sialo learns the great city has its own dangers and that, for a young woman, every opportunity for education or work comes at a price. Sarra decides that if her striking beauty is to be considered a commodity, it is she who will reap the profits, but she never forgets the strangers who have helped her, often at great sacrifice, in her quest for a better life. Middle-aged American accountant Jackson Price is widowed when an over-loaded coal truck collides head-on with his wife’s car. When he is offered a two-year stint in Africa with a foundation that supplies support funding for start-up enterprises, Jack snatches at the opportunity to escape from his grief. Shortly after he arrives in Kenya, Jack and Sarra meet, and their mutual, instant attraction confuses, excites, and terrifies them both. They join forces for a road trip into remote parts of Kenya, each for selfish and self-gratifying reasons, but along the way, they discover they share one deeply-ingrained value neither can escape: To stand against injustice by taking action, doing whatever is in one’s power, however large or small. NIGHTRUNNER is also a love story between two people different in every way – race, economic class, education level and age.
