Jamie Zeppa is at loose ends. Almost impulsively, she decides to move to Bhutan and teach.
She almost as quickly regrets her decision. No convenience foods here. Minimal toilet facilities. Great poverty. Friends are all far, far away.
Zeppa wants to go home to Canada.
But she doesn't. And, as time goes on, she gradually comes to regard Bhutan as her home. Its simplicities delight her. The kindnesses of Bhutan's people overwhelm her. And she loves her new life.
A very satisfying moving-and-starting-over tale.
