Publisher's Synopsis
"Jack Allison never intended to make a mess of his Peace Corps experience. He never intended to write the number one hit song in Malawi or be described as more popular than Malawi's own president in Newsweek magazine or be responsible for the Peace Corps itself being asked to leave the country. This poor Southern white boy with a deep love of music only wanted an answer to one burning question: Should he become a minister or a doctor? His hope was that joining the Peace Corps would help him find the answer. In the end, the answer Jack found was that he would be both, and that living in extreme circumstances in the world's then-poorest country, he would discover even more-the inner resources that allowed him to not only thrive, but give the best of what he had to those who needed it the most"--.
