| Laurie Charles worked as a Peace Corps volunteer in Togo. Her job was to create programs to help adolescent girls to stay in school. In this book she describes her personal experiences. She found herself enmeshed in the politics and cultural barriers that prevent these girls from creating a better life. Butshe also found love, sexual fulfillment, sexual harassment, and gender discrimination, all of which further complexified her stated mission. Her candid assessment of life and work in West Africa, the intimate relationships that gave hope to the possibility of change, the emotional and physical highs and lows that affected her ability to function, all become factors affecting her success in improving the lives of African girls. | |
