| “Faith
Adiele has written
an astonishing book - part travelogue, part coming-of-age memoir -
that
defies easy classification because it is finally a memoir of the soul.” --Richard Rodriguez, author of Brown: The Last Discovery of America “Jan Willis meets Anne Lamott in this funny, observant memoir…readers can and will learn from Adiele, who parses out her 2nd stay in Thailand with a comic’s timing, a novelist’s keen observations about human idiosyncrasies and an anthropologist’s sensitivity to issues of race and culture.” --Publishers Weekly Starred Review
