4 stars
I've always had an interest in the lives of people who choose to go to the most difficult countries, and this book definitely provides that. Amy was a graduate student signed up to teach English in an unnamed country (but which could be narrowed down with some geographical references) with a Christian missionary organization. She has what she believes to be a wonderful, religious experience, only to find out later that things actually fell apart. The descriptions and writing are beautiful and her story brings up a lot of really great points about evangelism and missionary work. She delves quite a bit into her own spirituality and references biblical passages, which I found comforting but may not be for everyone. Overall, I not only enjoyed this book but also took something away from the reading experience. I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
