Happenstance - 9781665535991

This memoir is a complete overview of the 20th century starting with the author's great grandparents homesteading in Eastern Oregon, to his deployment by the Peace Corps in Kenya East Africa. It is a long and well documented picture of one young man’s experiences of the war and peace that was America. Conflicts were external and internal but there was a general optimism that the world could be made better. There were success and failures, the consequences of which we live with today. Some of the greatest sociological and technical changes occurred in this period. The book is written in a conversational style that is unique to the author. You will feel like he is talking directly to you, as he explores faith, personal relationships, and an expanding understanding of the world. You cannot come away from this book without learning.
