Under the shadow of the turbulent 1960s, this is my story of a
journey through village India as an American Peace Corp Volunteer.
I graduated college in 1966 with no idea of what I wanted to do in
life. I asked the Peace Corps to send me to a place that was more
different than anything I had ever known. I got what I asked for.
India unfolded into a kaleidoscope of fascinating people and
unforgettable scenes in a culture that never failed to amaze me.
The sights, smells, and sounds of village India offer the backdrop
of what happened, some stories quite incredible, but all true.
After two years, I was infused with the spiritual and mystical
quality that was, and still is, India--something that is almost
beyond explaining. It cannot be found by touring India or even
visiting an ashram, but only by living there, learning the local
language, and being with Indians in their homes and work.
Forty-four years after leaving the Peace Corps I returned to
village India. Surprisingly, very little had changed. All of the
profits from the sale of this book will be donated to the Vishwa
Bharati non-profit village school in Anavatti, India; and to the
School of Social Work at the University of North Carolina
Wilmington, to support students and faculty in visiting India.
