Dear Exile- Hilary Liftin / Kate Montgomery

If we are good friends, please, please read this. It is a series of letters written between best friends when one joins the Peace Corps with her husband while the other gets her life together in the city that never sleeps. The back and forth dynamic of two lives in very different parts of the world was spot on and made me think of the lives my friends are living in LA while I'm here in Burkina (i.e., They can't find an apartment for reasonable rent while I can't cook because my propane tank is empty and the whole city is out of gas).
