"Backyard Tribe" a novel by Neil Shulman

"Backyard Tribe" a novel by Neil Shulman


I read this delightful novel back in 2002, so I don't know if it will still be available on your library's shelf.


Mobile, Alabama will never be the same, and neither will Dr. Bud Payne, his wife, Gail, their family or the neighborhood. What starts out as a "Good Samaritan" deed, quickly becomes a comedy of errors that grows beyond Bud's wildest dreams. Having traveled to Kenya to donate his medical services, and have a few day away with his wife, Bud stumbles upons a Maasai girl who needs life-saving heart surgery. Bud believes that he has simply made arrangements for the girl and her mother to travel to Mobile for the surgery. Imagine his surprise when her entire tribes disembarks from the 747!





Hope, if you can locate this book, that you will consider this one. I might not have read it, had it been set someplace other than Mobile - James graduated from Mobile High.
