Liberia 1958—At two years old, a sudden fever struck without warning. Days later, Rosana collapsed while trying to walk and could no longer stand on her right leg. Suspicion spread quickly through the community. The Medicine Man delivered a terrifying diagnosis: “A dragon has swallowed her leg.” But what looked like an ending became the beginning of an extraordinary life.

Born to American missionary parents in Liberia, West Africa, Georgie Davis spent her childhood immersed in a culture she simply knew as home.
She spoke Liberian English before American slang, climbed mango trees, walked red dirt roads, and grew up surrounded by sisters whose skin looked different from mine—but who were simply my sisters.
At seventeen, she left for the United States—the country printed on her passport. It was a move that raised questions about identity, belonging, and what it truly means to call a place home.

White Girl Run is the story of growing up Liberian and coming home American. It is a memoir about identity, belonging, faith, and discovering that home is sometimes found in the most unexpected places.
