24 New Moons (Bound for the Promised Land)

After the author retired, he and his wife spent two years with the U.S. Peace Corps in the "Mountain Kingdom of Lesotho." While there, he discovered things about himself, America, the Third World, and foreign aid that made him rethink previous beliefs. 24 New Moons recounts the experience. It's not a tale of swash-buckling adventure because day-to-day living doesn't soar to that level, but it is a story of discovery and insight.
