Description
The comic strip tale of an extraordinary life: Lucille Teasdale, a courageous woman who knew how to fight for her great dream of becoming a surgeon, defying the prejudices of the time with determination and indomitable passion.
Always ready for new challenges, in the 1960s Lucille left for Africa where, together with her husband Piero Corti, she succeeded in transforming the small hospital in Lacor into one of Uganda’s largest nonprofit hospitals, which still welcomes and treats hundreds of thousands of patients each year.
This book is the exciting story of a woman who chose to make a difference, dedicating her whole life to others. And it is an invitation to look far into the path of our human adventure.
