The Exchange

From the perspective of a young man learning his way in the world, this memoir narrates King's adventures in Italy and surrounding countries; the sights, sounds, and smells of different places; and his thoughts and feelings as he navigated a new host family, a new language, new foods, and new friends in a foreign country.

The Exchange discusses the meaningful life lessons he gained while abroad. King tells that living outside the United States gave him the opportunity to see his homeland for what it is-a great place filled with opportunity and growth in life. He realized how lucky he is to be in a place where dreams and visions do come true.
