    A Book I enjoyed reading was The Poisonwood


    Bible by Barbara Kingsolver. The following summary comes from Amazon,
    “The Poisonwood Bible is a story told by the wife and four daughters of Nathan Price, a fierce,
    evangelical Baptist who takes his family and mission to the Belgian Congo in 1959. They
    carry with them everything they believe they will need from home, but soon find that all of
    it -- from garden seeds to Scripture -- is calamitously transformed on African soil. What
    follows is a suspenseful epic of one family's tragic undoing and remarkable
    reconstruction over the course of three decades in postcolonial Africa.”

    It was a novel I would’ve never decided to read on my


    own but become one of my favorites.
