First Comes Love, Then Comes Malaria

First Comes Love, Then Comes Malaria: How a Peace Corps Poster Boy Won My Heart and a Third World Adventure Changed My Life
by Eve Brown-Waite

Available through CLEVNET, First Comes Love, Then Comes Malaria is Eve Brown-Waite's account of her time in the Peace Corps in Ecuador in the late 1980s and then in Uganda, as wife of a CARE worker, in the mid-1990s. The title is a bit misleading - it was the author who worked hard to win the heart of her Peace Corps recruiter, including signing up for the Peace Corps! Her writing is fresh and funny and I learned a lot about life in Uganda.
