Amy Muscoplat is looking for a change. Tired of the frenetic pace of life and work in South Florida, she joins the Peace Corps. She moves to the barely visible, tiny pin dot on the world map, remote Pacific island of Marakei, part of the Republic of Kiribati in the region of Micronesia, to be a health education volunteer.

Amy spends the next two years learning a new language, living in a stick hut with no running water or electricity, and adjusting to a dramatically different culture. What ensues is a journey of self-discovery, friendship, and growth as she makes local friends, adopts a pet pig, and teaches public health sessions with local counterparts and island groups.

Marakei island, and those living on it, forever touch and widen Amy's heart. This is a perfect book for anyone who loves travel memoirs. Readers are sure to have their hearts widened by reading this story too.
