TWO GOATS, ONE WIFE, An African Memoir by Ray Garford, is the personal memoirs of a man who's three-year teaching assignment in Zimbabwe, into a nine-year learning adventure!
The title of this exemplary, non-self-aggrandizing account is derived from the author's marriage to Tendai in April of 1988. She had joined the freedom fighters against the Smith regime at age eleven. Tendai did not tell her parents or relatives about her courthouse marriage. After a honeymoon in Botswana the couple went to her remote village in January of 1989 where a traditonal marriage ceremony was enacted during which Garford was required to pay the bride price of two goats.
