Out in the All of It

"Out in the All of It" captures, through a series of vignettes, those first days and months faced by the author, Chris Honor, after arriving in Colombia, South America, as a Peace Corps Volunteer. Though the Peace Corps puts every volunteer through a robust training program, including intense language preparation, nothing could have fully prepared him to face the exigencies of living in a foreign country of such profound and startling contrasts. While at times harrowing and demanding, the experience proved to be immensely rewarding and, in the end, altered his view of the world forever.
