100 Letters Home: My Two Years In Kyrgyzstan

100 Letters Home: My Two Years In Kyrgyzstan

Author(s): Emily Ross

Location(s): Kyrgyzstan

Genre(s): Autobiography/Memoirs

Era(s): 1997 - 1999

Please write, and send courage. This was the plea sent out by Emily Ross, as she faced the challenges of living and teaching in Kyrgyzstan, Central Asia. Answered by family and friends, who sent letters, chalk, long underwear, and chocolate, Emily responded with a flow of letters streaming back to America. These letters amused and horrified her readers who shared them over email. Collected here are the more than 100 letters describing and decrying her experience as a Peace Corps Volunteer from 1997 until 1999.
