Summary "In a world short of heroes, aid workers come close. At the front lines, behind the headlines, they are first in and last out of almost every international disaster. Yet their own stories are rarely told. In 1989, Phoebe Fraser, daughter of the former prime minister, joined CARE Australia. Seven years, two passports and 23 countries later, Phoebe's time as an emergency aid worker has brought her memorable. Sometimes life-threatening experiences. Phoebe describes the indomitable human spirit whether in Cambodia, Somalia or Rwanda which over comes the suffering and brings the joy to life and a will to survive. 'A Single Seed' is her story, an inspiring book about a remarkable woman." -- BOOK JACKET
