I Am Me Because of You

When a daughter is called to serve in Kyrgyzstan, her life is not the only one that's changed. I Am Me Because of You shows a daughter's Peace Corps journey to Kyrgyzstan through the eyes of her mother. With a collection of emails and phone calls, this book illustrates how a close-knit family had to deal with celebrations and losses while one member was halfway around the world. This two-year adventure shares relatable family issues such as letting go, trusting, heartache, worry, and finally acceptance and growth. Young adults will love the sense of adventure and independence, and parents will relate to the emotions of a heart that aches while beaming with pride. By the end of this journey that is filled with unbelievable events - both comical and serious - a mother and daughter realize that when a child leaves to serve, she is not the only one left changed for the better. Whether you're preparing to join the Peace Corps or a parent trying to embrace letting go, this true story gives a refreshingly real and honest look at life divided by distance and cultural differences. This book will leave you feeling empowered and wondering what life experiences are out there waiting for you!
