Berries In My Bathwater

Sarah Gossett provides a hilarious and heartfelt narrative of her adventures and misadventures as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Paraguay. Naturally curious, idealistic, and free-spirited, Sarah is launched into a rural community of Paraguay to teach sustainable agriculture, public health, and environmental education. In the midst of linguistic and cultural challenges, Sarah learns the meaning of building community and learning to laugh at oneself. From her stories of teaching sex education, to her calamities with horses and a certain monkey, to her trials and tribulations in navigating a machista society, Sarah gives us entertaining insight into her experiences as a Midwestern feminist trying to make positive change in a small Paraguayan community. -Janet Lawson, RPCV-Paraguay, Witness to several misadventures
