Description

"I thought I was escaping war. Instead, I found my way home."In the early 1970s, a wannabe hippie with a rootless, dysfunctional childhood searched for peace amid campus protests and cultural upheaval. Just weeks from earning her journalism degree, she faced a life-changing decision: let her new husband be drafted to Vietnam - or join him in the Peace Corps and leave the U.S. behind.
