Book Excellence Awards Shares a Magnificent World behind Fears

Book Excellence Awards is an international book awards competition dedicated to aiding authors and publishers in reach expansion through unique book marketing approaches, once a participant receives the award that is.

Pearson Media Group courts Paul Thompson into adding colors to this year’s competition by convincing the author into joining it. “All the Beautiful Strangers,” a Paul Thompson creation, presents the drama and struggles involved in meeting diverse cultures, having to adjust to different perspectives constantly forces people to go beyond their comfort zone. It is daunting to live in a foreign place, but this humorous anecdote makes the challenge even more inviting. Travel seems a meaningful opportunity for both excitement and personal growth.

With vivid descriptions of natural sceneries such as rivers and safaris, the readers themselves are tagging along in this beautiful journey. They can experience many of the diverse cultures across the vast African continent, from unbelievably wonderful places to perilous situations such as being held at gunpoint, arrested, and the sound of gunfire at the start of a civil war.

Drawn from the author’s personal experiences of working over a period of fifteen years in more than a dozen countries all over the continent, it reaffirms some common beliefs about the region. Thompson also documents the economic and social disadvantages affecting many of the local populations and how they endure it on a daily basis, mostly with humor and irony. In all, this book is a delightful read with the right amount of historical detail.

Thompson believes in its homely sense of familiarity to old African lands, and its power to aspire people to be kinder to others – those that have lived more tragic lives far more painful than physical scars. For the most part, the book is an enjoyable heart-warming adventure that is difficult to forget.
