Overview
Set against the vibrant backdrop of Latin America, this semi-autobiographical novel follows the transformative journey of an idealistic, naive Peace Corps Volunteer named Peter, whose life takes an unexpected turn when tragedy strikes his remote village in Paraguay propelling him on a harrowing escape with a semi-homeless 12-year-old boy.
Their journey takes them through an indigenous community, a Mennonite colony, a squatters camp, and, finally, the lawless and chaotic city of Ciudad del Este. There, Peter confronts profound truths about himself, his faith, and the fluidity of memory. With the aid of a kind transgender sex worker who challenges his perspective on life and survival, Peter discovers he must forge a new path to redemption.
