Unaware of each other's existence, Canadian lawyer Robert McBride and his illegitimate African daughter Oliva lead parallel lives.
McBride, who suffers a heartbreaking loss, eschews his lacklustre legal career in Canada for a more purposeful life as a primary school teacher in the safari tourism mecca of northern Tanzania. Adopted Oliva journeys from determined, scrawny, myopic student to become a top international model, determined to find her birth father and understand the circumstances of her conception.
OLIVA & McBRIDE is a story of endearing love and enduring family ties. Retired architect Alan Roy draws on his personal experience developing rural schools to provide realistic insight into the lives of modern-day rural Tanzanians.
