In Blind Faith: Tales of a Nurse in Africa, author and nurse Rebecca Gates recounts her experiences as a nurse in Africa. From providing medical care to HIV+ patients to witnessing firsthand the devastating effects of poverty and disease, Gates' stories are both heart-wrenching and inspiring.

Gates first traveled to Africa as a volunteer nurse in 2002. She was immediately struck by the poverty and disease that she saw all around her. But she was also inspired by the resilience and strength of the people she met. Gates returned to Africa several times over the next few years, working with a variety of organizations to provide medical care to those in need.

In Blind Faith, Gates shares her stories of working with HIV+ patients, caring for orphans, and providing medical care in remote villages. She also writes about the challenges she faced, including the lack of resources, the stigma associated with HIV/AIDS, and the cultural barriers that she encountered.

Despite the challenges, Gates never lost her faith in the power of nursing. She writes, "I believe that nursing is a calling, and that nurses have the ability to make a real difference in the world." Blind Faith is a powerful and moving account of one nurse's experiences in Africa. It is a story of hope, resilience, and the power of human connection.
