Ladyboy and the Volunteer (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781935925545)

Early 1990 Susan is a guileless young graduate out to save the world. Except, that doesn't work out as planned. Nor can she hold her liquor, but not for lack of trying. In a land of five-foot-tall Thai men, her search for a Western man becomes almost as desperate as her longing for a cheeseburger. Christine, the ladyboy, is a transgender Thai prostitute who has plenty of suitors. Oblivious to her cringe-worthy curiosity about Americans, Christine shares her own world, exposing the quirks and complexities of life and love in Thailand. Together, starting in a remote fishing village filled with both lovable and annoying characters, Susan and Christine embark on adventures that lead to loud arguments, a mysterious briefcase, alluring men and bittersweet enlightenment.
