FIRST COMES LOVE, THEN COMES MALARIA by Eve Brown-Waite

In First Comes Love, Then Comes Malaria: How A Peace Corps Poster Boy Won My Heart & A Third World Adventure Changed My Life, Ms. Brown-Waite first chronicles her life prior to joining the Peace Corps. Then she writes of her Peace Corps experience in the late 1980s, and finally she tells of her time with her husband, John, in Uganda, where he worked for CARE.
