The Trees Were Spinning

by Erik Black

Overview

I lived for two years in a dusty village near the coast of Kenya, East Africa. I went with some thought of bringing change to the Duruma people, but in the end I was changed as much or more than anyone else. Each chapter of "The Trees Were Spinning" tells a short story or two from my time there, and reveals a facet of their culture (and often my own as well). Through the book you can follow my own growth and the humble lessons of life that I learned, and the joy and struggles of living as a stranger in a strange land. God was near me on this journey, but He did not leave me unchanged, nor can I ever see life in the same way again. Come along and see the spinning trees with me!

About the Author

I live in Kansas City but have lived overseas, in Kenya and Morocco. These travels have influenced my writing (Hey I now have a book out on my time in Kenya called "The Trees Were Spinning").

P.S. I really am working on the next books! The Trees Were Spinning is out now, and DRWN Trilogy book 1 will be coming next year. Writing is real work!
Almost done with book 1, and then the editing begins...
