When Dr. Bud Payne agreed to sponsor a Maasai girl to be flown from a small village in Kenya to an American hospital for heart surgery, he had no idea that the girl's tribe would accompany her -- and expect him to house them all! Warriors carrying spears, wives with infants and a medicine man install themselves in the backyard of Dr. Payne's suburban home. The results are both harrowing and hilarious, in this warm-hearted book that shows how much two different cultures can learn from each other.
