Overview
"I thought I was escaping war. Instead, I found my way home."
In the early 1970s, a wannabe hippie with a rootless, dysfunctional childhood searched for peace amid campus protests and cultural upheaval. Just weeks from earning her journalism degree, she faced a life-changing decision: let her new husband be drafted to Vietnam - or join him in the Peace Corps and leave the U.S. behind.
Taking the Long Way Home: A Peace Corps Memoir of Brazil you is the true story of a young American couple's transformative journey to Northeast Brazil - a region still reeling from a failed revolution. There, amid intense heat, poverty, and beauty, they built a school, launched grassroots projects, and found themselves immersed in a world both foreign and deeply human.
