Filled with laughs and giggles, this memoir presents the authors spirited and light-hearted approach to living all over the world along with a husband, four young sons, three dogs, and two cats. The koi fish had to be left behind. From growing up during the black-and-white apartheid years of South Africa to suntanning topless on the silvery beaches and azure seas of the Greek Isles; from walking like an Egyptian around the earthy tones of the pyramids to savouring pearlescent beads of the finest caviar harvested from the neon waters of the Caspian Sea; from reminiscing with six-foot-four transvestites wearing shocking-pink nails to enjoying the freedom of riding chromed Harleys in the Karoo; each chapter is in itself a singular story, but when put together, they make up the multi-coloured mosaic of a kaleidoscopic life. Take a trip to the USA, Kazakhstan, Holland, Austria, and many other countries through the eyes of a woman who most certainly is not colour-blind.

Kaleidoscope Catechesis is both a rhetorical and a pastoral effort to communicate the Gospel message cross-culturally, particularly in Africa. It analyzes the rhetorical dynamics of cross-cultural communication within the specific context of missionary catechesis in the Diocese of Wa in Ghana, and offers concrete pastoral communication strategies to be used for effective catechesis and evangelization. This book will appeal to a wide variety of people: seminarians in Africa, priests, pastoral workers, students of rhetoric and cross-cultural communication.
