classroom climate; over 70 primary sources (including a dozen new

own views on what it means to be a 21st-century American. Each unit

Adela Frost wants to do something with her life. When a chance
encounter and a haunting dream steer her toward distant Burma, she
decides to spend the summer after high school volunteering in a
Buddhist monastery. Adela finds fresh confidence as she immerses
herself in her new environment, teaching English to the monks and
studying meditation with the wise abbot. Then there's her secret
romance with Thiha, an ex-political prisoner with a shadowy past.
But when some of the monks express support for the persecution of
the country's Rohingya Muslim minority, Adela glimpses the turmoil
that lies beneath Burma's tranquil surface. While investigating the
country's complex history, she becomes determined to help stop
communal violence. With Thiha's assistance, she concocts a scheme
that quickly spirals out of control. Adela must decide whether to
back down or double down, while protecting those she cares about
from the backlash of Buddhist and Muslim extremists. Set against
the backdrop of Burma's fractured transition to democracy, this
coming-of-age story weaves critiques of "voluntourism" and
humanitarian intervention into a young woman's quest for connection
across cultural boundaries. This work of literary fiction will
fascinate Southeast Asia buffs and anyone interested in places
where the truth is bitterly contested territory.
