Before, Before
Book Talk and Signing by Betsy Small

Sunday, November 16th at 2:00pm at CAA


CAA member Betsy Small will discuss and read from her recently published book, Before, Before, which recounts her experience as a Peace Corp volunteer in Sierra Leone.

Donna E. Shalala, former US Secretary of Health and Human Services and Peace Corps Volunteer writes: “When JFK established the Peace Corps he had modest expectations of fostering mutual understanding between Americans and people of other nations and cultures. He underestimated the impact it was to have on those of us who served. Betsy Small’s masterpiece tells that story. In a small village in Sierra Leone she finds her resilience, empathy, understanding, and grit. In the Krio and Kono languages Learn and Teach are interchangeable—a fitting metaphor for this extraordinary book.”

Don’t miss this very special opportunity!
