Come on an unusual journey to China. Not just the travel magazine China of the Great Wall and Forbidden City— immerse yourself in China’s real heart and soul; the day-to-day life of its everyday people.
Two sixty-somethings, Susan McKee and her husband Robert accept a humanitarian assignment to teach English to college students in a village near a large but primitive city struggling to make its way into the 21st century. Of course, being in a Communist country, they agree to leave religion and politics out of the mix. From the minute they arrive life becomes an adventure. Whether a trip to the market to find food they can recognize, to navigating the maze of Communist bureaucracy, nothing is ordinary or familiar.
This is a journey on parallel paths: You get to know the McKees intimately because Susan so willingly shares herself, and you get to see China from the inside out, without guile or agenda. As the McKees gain the trust and love of their students, they are taken deeper and deeper into the human experience of a very different culture.
Beautifully written, always fascinating, often funny, sometimes poignant, this is a story that draws you in and wraps itself around you—and you don’t want it to let go.
