Excerpts from Wander Tales:

“But then again, I was a wuss with an important-looking document in her hands on her way to the city police. I was going places. ” Stephanie Elizondo Griest from Tears from Turkey.

“Alais decides that we will eat one of his goats for dinner. We are standing surrounded by the animals when Alais turns to me. “Choose one,” he says. I laugh. No way am I going to play God. He chooses.” Rita Golden Gelman from Maasai Moments.

“During my year in the subcontinent my faith in others took a beating, becoming frayed and tattered. Not by big incidents, but rather little ones, like the shopkeeper charging me more than anyone else or the man who pretended not to see me as he stepped in front of me in line.” Connie Stambush from Taken for a Ride.

“Badri lit a fire and roasted chicken on skewers made out of twigs for our first dinner together. Afterward, he brewed sweet mint tea and plied me with dozens of tiny glasses of what he called “Bedouin whiskey.” Maliha Masood from Woman in the Dunes.
