An orphan in Victorian Africa is determined to become a woman doctor and keep her parents' hospital alive despite the evil machinations of her guardians.

I loved the evocative descriptions of E. Africa and the intrigue of the double-life our orphaned heroine finds herself forced into. In many ways, this reminded me of Frances Hodgson Burnett stories like Little Lord Fauntleroy and A Little Princess, both in the orphan-from-the-colonies-comes-to-an-English-manor premise and in a certain purity of characters.
