'Tomorrow I will be leaving the delights of beautiful, snowy Ramsbury and setting off on my adventure to Ghana ...'

The inspirational true story of one woman, two villages, infinite optimism and thousands of lives transformed—To Lawra with Love is the funny, heart-warming, hard-hitting memoir of charity founder Sarah Gardner.

It's 2012, and Sarah is leaving her too-safe life in leafy England and heading to Ghana, Africa, with a suitcase full of cream-coloured linen and the romantic dream of 'having an adventure and saving the world'.

But the last thing the people of far-away, impoverished Lawra need is another white saviour. Which is just as well, because Sarah—hopelessly out of her depth and very, very sweaty—is not saving anyone. She can barely look after herself.

Then, a terrible tragedy changes everything. Sarah begins breaking rules and building relationships—one in particular—bringing together her English village and his Ghanaian one on a mission to transform thousands of lives... including her own. A behind-the-scenes of international development as you've never read it before. A heart-wrenchingly honest account of work and love across cultures and continents. A testament to what listening, kindness, community and optimism can achieve.

Totally relatable to anyone who cares about the world and the state of their hair.
