| Summary |
At 27, Bill Hatcher was at a crossroads. Brought up in an evangelical household in the Bible Belt, his religion had provided no answers to his parents' broken marriage, or, indeed, his own divorce. The key to his salvation would come from a most unlikely source: a flyer calling for Peace Corps volunteers. A year later, Hatcher finds himself in Tanzania, East Africa. As a geography teacher at an all-girls' boarding school, he's expected broaden his students' horizons, but instead it is his own worldview that is challenged?by encounters with local shamans; dangerous ascents on Mounts Kenya, Kili. |
