I had no idea I would like this book so much.

Herrera heads to Cameroon, West Africa, for a stint in the Peace Corps. She's in search of escape, escape from her troubled marriage and recent divorce, escape from her troubled childhood. Instead of escape, however, she finds deliverance, deliverance from the very people she came to save.
