Sally Stiles Libri

Aaron Chadwick's job is to save Tanzania's largest industrial complex. After three weeks in this vast, alluring country, his wife, Anna, has met missionaries and Muslims, Maasai herders, expatriates both indifferent and committed. She's slept among lions and giraffes and learned of men who chewed off cats' heads. She's seen a pleasure ground for the wealthy and a garbage dump which serves as a playground for the poorest of the poor. She's seen her husband angry and determined to save what may be impossible to save. She's seen all these things through the long lens of a visitor and now resolves to zoom in closer. She resolves to make Africa her home.

An enchanting collection. You will laugh and cry, stop in J.D. Salinger's home town, go to the movies, visit with a shaman, ride on Pegasus' back, travel to East and West Africa and learn how man was really created. Accessible but thought-provoking. Sally Stiles is the author of four books, including the acclaimed memoir, Plunge!. She holds an MFA in Writing from Vermont College of Fine Arts.
