Description:

Never the Same Again is a collection of sixty-three true stories and poems that will take you on a storytelling journey about life, service and friendship in Liberia. This anthology of enduring hope spans sixty years. Written by those of us who lived and worked in Liberia, we share heartfelt accounts of adversity and acceptance, illness and healing, and escape from war and reunion. Glimpse into everyday life in the village, classroom, and clinic where relationships were formed and lost, and many were found again. Once you read this book you will feel as we do…never the same again.

Admission is free and doors open at 5PM at the 450K location, Davis Room. Books are available at the launch with festivities beginning at 5:30 until 6:30 P.M. with amazing slides and heartfelt readings from some of our authors and entertainment at the closing.
In honor of Peace Corps 60th Anniversary of serving in Liberia, Friends of Liberia (FOL) a non-profit organization is sponsoring this event. All proceeds of the book will benefit humanitarian programs in Liberia.
