Author Christine Herbert at BookTree - short talk, q and a book signing... The Color of the Elephant: Memoir of a Muzungu is at turns harrowing, playful, dewy-eyed and wise, it takes the reader on a “time-machine tour” of the author’s Peace Corps volunteer service as a health worker and educator from 2004–2006 in Zambia. Sept 11th, 2001 played a role in Christine joining the Peace Corps so it seems appropriate to have her book event the day before the anniversary. Thanks for sharing and letting others know about this author event at BookTree! BookTree Facebook Event Page is HERE.

Bio: Christine Herbert is a part-time writer, part-time bodyworker, and full-time space cadet currently living in the Pacific Northwest. A dyed-in-the-wool introvert, she occasionally surprises everyone—especially herself—by chucking it all and living an adventurous life of service overseas, once as a U.S. Peace Corps volunteer in Zambia and later as a manager for a non-profit organization in Nepal. When not adventuring off to distant lands, she can be found holed up in her glorified oubliette under a pile of lap blankets surrounded by a multitude of storybooks and wheels of cheese.
