In 1996, successful businessman and certified pilot, Scott Griffin, decided to work for the Flying Doctors Service, an African organization that flies doctors to remote areas to administer medical assistance. Griffin also made the daring decision to fly solo from Canada to Africa and back again. My Heart is Africa is the engaging, personal story of Griffin’s two-year aviation adventure throughout Africa.
Griffin's harrowing flight over the Atlantic to Kenya was only the beginning of his adventure. Throughout his journey – which included being arrested and crashing, then re-crashing, his plane – Griffin discovered the heartrending humanity and beauty of Africa.
My Heart is Africa is an absorbing adventure story, but it is also the story of Africa – its problems and people, its landscapes and its limitations, culture and courage. Griffin takes the reader on a journey into the lives of all the doctors, nurses, aid workers and eccentric characters that crossed his path along the way.
