This is a sequel to "Ndotolu - The life and stories of Walter and Anna Fisher of Central Africa" (formerly published as "Africa looks ahead"; see elsewhere on this blog for an index to this book) and tells the story of Walter's son Charles and his time as a surgeon in Northern Rhodesia at Kalene Hill hospital and elsewhere. There are mentions of a number of British visitors and Charles' time in England while studying at Cambridge and in Southern Rhodesia. There is quite a bit on hospitals on the copperbelt.
According to this account, Walter was influenced by Arnot, a neighbour of David Livingstone in Hamilton Scotland, to make his mark in Africa. Charles later followed in Walter's footsteps and made great contributions to medicine in Zambia. The book roughly covers the period 1900-1981, although there is also a repeated account of some of the information in Africa Looks Ahead / Ndotolu.
Unfortunately I read this so long ago that I am not going to attempt a fuller account of the book, but it is well referenced and indexed, so I will repeat some of the index here. The book also includes a lot of genealogical information on the Fisher and Darling family trees. One gets the impression that more would be available from the author. Good reading...
