In this compelling narrative, Michael L. Buckler draws readers into
the challenging, yet rewarding world of the Peace Corps. Inspired
by his journals, the book recounts his life as a Peace Corps
teacher after a heartbreaking divorce and a demanding legal career
prompted him to make a change. Assigned to a village school in
Malawi, Buckler opens his tiny home to three boys, embarking with
them on a journey of cross-cultural discovery, personal sacrifice,
and transformative growth. Determined to help his village, Buckler
collaborates with community leaders to build a boarding school for
girls. As momentum builds, a powerful bureaucrat tries to shut down
the project and Buckler becomes discouraged. As he agonizes over
whether to leave, the village takes matters into its own hands in a
moving display of the persistent, courageous spirit of Malawi.
