    A fast-paced memoir of youthful ambition meeting real world reality, this coming-of-age story describes the life of Gerry Abbey, a newly graduated teacher and Fulbright scholar, who’s placed in a small village in rural Taiwan. Upon landing, he realizes his experience would be far more challenging than he ever could have imagined as he makes friends, teaches classes, travels, crashes, learns Chinese, fails at communicating, attends weddings, funerals, and other celebrations, and much, much more.

    Chronicling his one-year Fulbright experience but written over nine years’ time, the author provides thoughtful insight into life as a foreigner, as a recent graduate, and as an idealistic traveler looking for meaning in the world. This heartwarming tale interweaves adversity, triumph, failure, and hilarity amidst a strikingly candid story that will leave you seeing the world differently by the time you’ve burned through these easy-turning pages.
