She travelled alone and her exposure to Nigeria’s tight military control caused her to experience fear as never before. In Ghana, destiny led her to meet Adamson, who became her guide, doctor and more....The story left you breathless, wanting more. Into Africa: The Return describes Blackwood’s second journey to West Africa. This time accompanied by two American cousins - Peabody, 70, reunites with Theresa, her Ashanti friend after 40 years. Theresa’s brother dies the day before they arrive in Ghana and plans go awry. In Ghana, Blackwood meets her protégée Frieda and the dashing Pastor Ray for the first time.
