In this delightful and insightful memoir of a mid-century American girl coming of age as a new bride in a remote village in Niger, West Africa, Laurie Oman generously shares a unique place and time that will live on in readers' hearts forever. We are right there with her as she fumbles and faux pas her way into the role of a valued member of the community as a health educator, unprepared emergency midwife, and ultimately trusted friend. So deep were the bonds from her two-year Peace Corps stay in the 1960s, that thirty years later she was invited to return to her beloved village. So we readers get a second chance to meet the dear friends we had come to love, to experience the changes in the village and its inhabitants, and to be with Laurie as her own life is again enriched and transformed by her experiences in Africa.
