Readers all over the world were fascinated and moved by the memoirs of the white queen Claude Njiké Bergeret, the 26th wife -now a widow- of an African king. Today she owns a farm in Cameroon. Her new book reveals the secrets of the immemorial wisdom of her African village, traditions that essentially form a philosophy of life.

With humor, tenderness and passion, Claude initiates us into the world that has been hers for thirty-eight years. Work in the fields, marriage, funerals, religious ceremonies, birth and child rearing, and the changing roles of women, all have been part of this world. Its a world of generosity where all members know they are part of one great family, a world where the living, the spirits of the dead and nature exist in complete communion, a world of harmony where each voice is heard and each individual is allowed to blossom in total freedom.
