Marcy Spaulding is a unique blend of adventurous spirit, humanitarian soul, and sensitive psychology. Her Peace Corps memoir, all written as it was happening, is full of the expected interesting tales, but also contains unexpected emotional honesty and intensity. We probably all wonder how we would manage as the lone foreigner in a small village, trying to understand a language and traditions so different from our own. Dancing Trees shows us that the experience can be lonely, distressing and confusing, as well as humorous, eye-opening, and exhilarating.

-Elaine Aron, Ph.D. Author of The Highly Sensitive Person and The Highly Sensitive Child.
