Save the World Inc
Entertaining and informative, this powerful novel shows how one woman's courageous effort to save the cocoa harvest will change the lives of millions of West Africans and her own family.
The world's supply of chocolate is in trouble. In West Africa, it's the critical harvest season for cocoa, the miracle fruit that is the main ingredient for chocolate. A good crop will mean enough food for the farming families and millions in profits for commodity traders.
In 45 short and compelling chapters, Save the World Inc paints a vivid picture of the collision between the remote villages of Africa and global business.
Effie and Etassiah are strong women. They must battle the corrupt government of Givory while feeding their own families.
American CEO Ardmore Suss believes that investing in Africa will build her company's reputation for good works. She must overcome opposition from her all-male board of directors who want profits at any cost.
Climate change brings a fierce drought to West Africa. Givory plunges into chaos. The farmers may receive no compensation for six months of hard work in the humid forests.
The global price of cocoa soars and makes huge profits possible for clever traders. Ardmore bets on a bold new market position.
Effie and Etassiah face a grave choice. If they do nothing, millions will suffer. But if they organise a farmers' rebellion, the government's crackdown will be merciless.
From the back roads of West Africa to the board rooms of the USA, this powerful novel moves at the lightning pace of global trade.
Full of heart and humour, this is the story of our times.
