Blurb
Dillon McDowell, an infectious disease specialist, jumps at the opportunity to work with Doctors Without Borders in Liberia. But when he arrives, things are very different than he expected, and he’s out of his depth. Will Scarlet takes him under his wing and helps him adjust. A hint of normalcy comes when a group of local boys invite Dillon to play soccer.
Will’s family rejected him for being gay, and he’s closed off his heart. Even though meeting Dillon opens him to the possibility of love, he’s wary. They come from different worlds, and Will plans to volunteer for another stint overseas. But Will realizes what Dillon means to him when Dillon becomes ill, and they can no longer deny their feelings.
When Dillon’s soccer friends lose their parents and aunt to disease, Will and Dillon must work together to ensure that the boys aren’t cast adrift in a society that’s afraid they might be contagious. They must also decide if their feelings are real or just the result of proximity and hardship.

Review
My Rating - 5 Stars!
A Spirit Without Borders is a beautiful, thoughtful, and emotional story.
Dillon and Will meet while working together as doctors without borders. The author does a great job reminding the readers of the importance of working for this organization. The doctors without borders part is written with compassion and care.
We know the doctors do their best to help improve life for others, but with these two, the doctors helped to improve each other.
Dillon and Will are two men who each didn't think they'd find love. One is a man who didn't have any roots, and no place to actually call home. The other is struggling to be a team player. Both learn so much and grow significantly during their time together.
They have to deal with family issues and homophobia. I really enjoy Dillon and Will as a couple, and am so happy that they are able to find a happy life together. They each learn so much and change significantly during his time there.
These two men are sweet together, and their story is full of meaningful aspects.
They deal with vastly different ways of life, which they can help improve, but they can't step in and change things for them. They deal with villages that let fear rule their lives, as they aren't educated enough about the diseases they face.
I love A Spirit Without Borders. From the start, the tone is soothing, and the story touching. This Andrew Grey book is a beautiful and inspiration tale.
