Tales from the Heart

Tales from the Heart

Tales from the Heart is the title of a series of comic books, written by Cindy Goff and illustrated by Rafael Nieves and Saitu Hayden. Told through the eyes of protagonist Cathy Grant, the comics detail the adventures of a Peace Corps volunteer in the Central African Republic in the mid-1980s.

Retrieved July 10, 2008.] ] The work explores why so much effort by so many volunteers wrought so little change. Later stories delve into the reign of the mad dictator Jean-Bédel Bokassa.
