520 $aBrought up in an evangelical household in the Bible Belt, Hatcher's religion had provided no answers to his parents' broken marriage, or his own divorce. The key to his salvation would come from a most unlikely source: a flyer calling for Peace Corps volunteers. As a geography teacher at an all-girls' boarding school in Tanzania, he's expected broaden his students' horizons, but instead it is his own worldview that is challenged. Through tragedy and triumph, by questioning the very core of his being, he manages to escape the confines of his "marble room" and gain a new understanding of himself and God.
