Scared: A Novel on the Edge of the World by Tom Davis is the 1st in his subtitular series of contemporary drama novels featuring a photojournalist tackling various global issues as well as his own personal dysfunctions, this installment featuring African crises in the Congo and Swaziland, free courtesy of Christian publisher David C. Cook.

Technically, this has previously been offered free in 2012, but doesn't seem to have gotten mentioned on MR then or any time since when it might have repeated, so I'm just going to treat it as a new freebie for the purposes of the daily non-repeat thread count since I have less time than usual to sift through the slushpile and have to arrange some medical follow-up stuff that can hopefully be taken care of this weekend.

Currently free, probably just for the rest of the day @ B&N (also UK), Amazon (available to Canadians & in the UK), iTunes & Google Play (both available to Canadians), ChristianBook (DRM-free ePub available to selected countries), can be added to your library @ BookShout (online reading & in-app download), and might also be free in other venues listed on the publisher's webcatalogue page.

Description
Stuart Daniels has hit bottom. Once a celebrated and award-winning photojournalist, he is reeling from debt, a broken marriage, and crippling depression. The source of Stuart's grief is his most famous photo, a snapshot of brutality in the dangerous Congo. A haunting image that indicts him as a passive witness to gross injustice.

Stuart is given a one last chance to redeem his career: A make-or-break assignment covering the AIDS crisis in a small African country. It is here that Stuart meets Adanna, a young orphan fighting for survival in a community ravaged by tragedy and disease. But in the face of overwhelming odds, Adanna finds hope in a special dream, where she is visited by an illuminated man and given a precious gift.

Now, in a dark place that's a world away from home, Stuart will once again confront the harsh reality of a suffering people in a forgotten land. And as a chance encounter becomes divine providence, two very different people will find their lives forever changed.
