Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it take to be a Peace Corps Volunteer? Idealism? Adaptability? Perseverance? I thought I had what it took when I joined the Peace Corps in 1964 until I came face to face with the reality of living and teaching in Anatolia, Turkey. From my first experience with Turkish cuisine to my attempts to emulate America recipes, from my first meetings with Turks to my final good-byes, these forty-five short stories highlight the ups and downs of a fresh-out-of-college, know-it-all female Volunteer attempting to find her place in the conservative town of Konya, Turkey. Patricia has lived and worked in Turkey, Italy, and South Korea. She now resides in Iowa, where she shares a house with an assortment of adults, cats, and the occasional eight-year-old. Seeds of Change was Patricia Morgan's first novel and Turkish Delight is her first collection of memoir stories.

Book excerpt: From September 1967 until late June 1969, I worked as a Peace Corps volunteer in Bartn, Turkey, teaching English to junior high school students. This is a memory of my time living with Bartnllar (Bartinians) and teaching their children."Turkey: A Language Adventure - Peace Corps, Bartin, 1967-1969" is not a "normal memoir." It is more about how the people of Bartn taught me Turkish. Each little "tale" is about how I learned a particular Turkish word or phrase from a Bartnl (Bartinian). Along the way, you will learn about how Bartnllar (Bartinians) were, what I thought of them and what, I supposed, they thought of me.

Book excerpt: In 2011 amid the excitement of the 50th anniversary of the Peace Corps, Julie Woods Smith Olson became inspired to organize her memorabilia from her time as a Peace Corps volunteer in Turkey from 1964 to 1966. This book, "To Make a Difference -- A Peace Corps Memoir" is the result of a year of transcribing and editing her handwritten journals from that time. Julie and her husband, Gary, celebrated their first wedding anniversary camping out in a farmer's field in northern Vermont during training for the Peace Corps. After training, they were assigned as a two-person rural-community development team in an isolated village in Southwest Turkey. Their village had no electricity or running water, and conditions were such that at first they had to be more concerned with basic survival than with development. The villagers were also living at a subsistence level and found it difficult to understand what development might mean. The problem was compounded by the fact that three months of classes in Turkish had not prepared either Julie or Gary to inspire the villagers to set common goals and improve their quality of life. Problems aside, though, Julie did set up a kindergarten serving milk provided by a Peace Corps / CARE program, and she taught women's sewing classes. Meanwhile, Gary worked with a local 4-K association to start a chicken farm (4-K is the Turkish equivalent to 4-H). The two lived with a Turkish family of six who accepted them as their own.About her experience in Turkey, Julie says, "When we returned home, we were asked what impact we'd had on our villagers and what what we'd learned from our Peace Corps adventure. I said, 'I am a better American. I appreciate my own country. And I believe that in ways we did not quite understand while we were there, we made a difference in one small village in Turkey.'" In Julie's book, you will find her stories of friendship, hospitality and human nature.

Book excerpt: In 1877, when Russia attacks the Ottoman Empire, Sultan Abduelhamit II must fight a devastating war to preserve his ethnically diverse territories that stretch across three continents. At home, he feels threatened from within by Mithat Pasha, a respected reformer, who has popular support for a constitution that would curb the sultan's authority and give the people a voice in their government. Aware of these challenges, Abduelhamit's Belgian wife, Flora Cordier, hopes to remain his confidante and helpmate as he decides how to govern: the iron-fisted rule of his ancestors, the democracy proposed by Mithat, or the diplomacy that exposes his weakened military power. No matter his choice, he is responsible for the suffering of his people.To Save an Empire explores the impact of religious and ethnic conflict in the Ottoman Empire of the late 19th century on the lives of ordinary people-Muslims, Christians, and Jews. Refugees flee atrocities that incite revenge, but also arouse charity and love. A story of love found and lost, of war and its consequences. Today's Balkans and Middle East emerge from the era's political forces of terrorism, imperialism, nationalism, and religion. It is a modern story.______________________________________________________________________________"e;[Gall]...artfully brings to life the political intrigues of an empire sliding into irrelevance. The Ottoman Empire emerges as a kind of protagonist all its own, eager to become strengthened by its embrace of modernity and the West, but also anxious about surrendering its cultural and religious identity. ... A magnificently researched tale of a troubled empire that's also dramatically captivating."e; - Kirkus reviews "e;Fiction as only history can tell it, all the more moving because we know it is not fiction. ...a compelling story."e; - Bulent Atalay, physicist and author of Math and the Mona Lisa and Leonardo's Universe

Book excerpt: Now in paperback: a gripping, witty travel memoir that offers "a fascinating look at voluntourism from an Indigenous perspective" (Book Riot) "Ursula Pike's memoir is unlike any other I've read, with her perceptive, always-seeking, and lovely narrative voice." --Susan Straight, author of Mecca "This book is alive with a spirit that welcomed mine to meet it." --Elissa Washuta, author of White Magic When she was twenty-five, Ursula Pike boarded a plane to Bolivia and began her term of service in the Peace Corps. A member of the Karuk Tribe, Pike sought to make meaningful connections with Indigenous people halfway around the world. But she arrived in La Paz with trepidation as well as excitement, "knowing I followed in the footsteps of Western colonizers and missionaries who had also claimed they were there to help." In the following two years, as a series of dramatic episodes brought that tension to a boiling point, she began to ask: What does it mean to have experienced the effects of colonialism firsthand, and yet to risk becoming a colonizing force in turn? An Indian Among los Indígenas, Pike's memoir of this experience, upends a canon of travel memoirs that has historically been dominated by white writers. It is a sharp, honest, and unnerving examination of the shadows that colonial history casts over even the most well-intentioned attempts at cross-cultural aid. With masterful deadpan wit, it signals a shift in travel writing that is long overdue.
