The Kinship Of All Creatures tells the story of Dr. Chloe McGuire, a genetics researcher at Cornell University. She goes to Kenya as a delegate to the conference of the United Nations Decade for Women, where each distinct face, every glowing shape comes together in a happening, an encounter, an explosion of euphoria. Though diverse in their goals and how they could reach them, the women stood united.
She meets Esther, a Red Cross nurse from Australia, who dislikes boredom more than anything and makes do with not enough. At the clinic, Esther seals the gash on the leg of a child who heaved a panga at the wrong instant by using the jaws of ants to close the wound. Chloe learns resourcefulness.
Chloe teams up with Dr. Zakia Kigamba as he travels throughout his beloved country, uniting them in kinship and a love that echoes across an ocean. She learns clarity.
When she returns to Cornell, she convinces Dr. Stanfield to design a brilliant but simple prototype, made of PVC pipe and a rubber ball, that will purify the water it contains, sparing the backs of women while protecting the health of all who drink from it.
Chloe gradually crafts the courage to weave days together like spiders spin, strand by strand, and she triumphs. She understands she outlived parts of one life and is blessed to find another. Bear the sorrow, bear it honestly, and, eventually, it abates. Asking the spirit rooted in our hearts to mend our sacred, battered world births new life and bends the arc toward justice. Signs of it are everywhere, creating peponi, Swahili for paradise.
