Kris Holloway
CULTURAL PORTRAIT •  2006 •  PAPER  • 212 PAGES

In this uncommonly well-written and open-eyed first person account of village life in Mali, a young Peace Corps volunteer weaves powerful story of a young midwife and her role in the community -- and her growing friendship with Monique Demebele -- with a stark account of the realities of daily life, the state of health care, and her own coming-of-age.  (WAF134, $24.95)
