They abandoned a world of comfort and privilege to bring the healing power of medicine to Africa.

Here is the story of three generations of powerful women, whose passion for life and for giving you will never forget.

Liliane.  Carolyn.  Courtney.  For half a century, they would devote themselves to Simbayo, the place that lies east of the sun.

When 21-year old Liliane Wentworth set eyes on Dr. Baxter Hathaway in her family's parlor in 1926, she knew she would follow him anywhere. And so she came to Simbayo, a place of intense heat and rain-soaked jungles, arid desert and infinite animal life, all of it blanketed with a vague scent of danger. For this place, Liliane gave up a life of gentility and comfort, to nurse the native tribes of the Congo, and to be near Baxter.

Simbayo would make a woman of Liliane, and she would make it her home. She would give birth to Carolyn, who would prove every bit as willful and passionate as her mother. Carolyn would live a life that mirrored Liliane's, filled with bittersweet love and a fierce belief in medicine, a tradition she would pass on to her own daughter, Courtney. Courtney would complete the dynasty of women healers, who brought faith and hope to a beleaguered land, whose destiny was forever bound with the place called Simbayo.
