“Eve Brown-Waite writes as she lives – with verve and laughter and an excellent sense of the absurd.” -- Martin Troost, writer of Lost on World China
Eve Dark brown’s dream is to join the Calmness Corps … and perhaps solve world cravings for food and get a Nobel Calmness Prize along the way. But she secretly concerns she isn’t difficult enough to survive the bug-infested jungle, significantly less life without toilet paper and decaf cappuccino. Then she falls head-over-little-black-heels in love with John--a dashing Calmness Corps recruiter whose do-gooder passions outshine her own. She becomes more established than ever to get into the Calmness Corps – and also to get John’s heart in the process.
Assigned to Ecuador, she yearns for warm showers and frosty beers (instead of the other way around!) . And even though she occasionally sees herself confused by her work reuniting homeless children with their families, she discovers to take pleasure in small successes. But per year into her service, a tragedy befalls one of her fellow volunteers which unearths troubling recollections from Eve’s past and causes her to come back, somewhat unceremoniously, to the united states. Back home, Eve attempts to stay down with John and get reacquainted with the joys of sushi and supermarkets. But faster than she can say “cross the malaria pills,” John allows a job with CARE in a remote control part of Africa and Eve gets another chance to test her mettle in the 3rd World.
With uproarious wit and candor, Eve Brown-Waite details the (mis)adventures that ensue. From intestinal parasites and guerrilla warfare, to culture clashes, and unexpected friendships, First Comes Love, Then Comes Malaria catches the thrills and absurdities of global humanitarian life in a story any globetrotter - armchair or otherwise - will love.
