GENRE: BIOGRAPHY/AUTOBIOGRAPHY/MEMOIR

Living Thirteen Years in Latin America is a synopsis of three books: Living in El Salvador, Living in Nicaragua, and Living in Brazil. As a twenty-year-old, I joined the Peace Corps and was sent to El Salvador. Before going to El Salvador, I spent three months on a mountain top in a Puerto Rican rain forest learning Spanish-a language for which I had had no previous exposure. Living in El Salvador documents my struggles with learning Spanish and then adjusting to the cultural differences of living in a small room in Sonsonate, El Salvador and working with small Indian farmers.
