At Home on the Kazakh Steppe: A Peace Corps Memoir

Just when her life felt right: new career, new home, new grandchildren, Janet Givens leaves it all behind and follows her new husband into the Peace Corps.  Assigned to Kazakhstan, a Central Asian country finding its own way after generations under Soviet rule, Givens must also find a way to be in a world different from what she knew. And what she expected.  Stresses of a difficult new language, surprising cultural differences, and unexpected changes in her husband lead her to question the loss of all she's given up. Will it be worth it?
