Description:Sixteen-year-old Nancy Sanders trades cruising Main Street, Oklahoma in search of tater tots for strolling sandy shores in the South Pacific with islanders who serenade sharks and feast on sea worms. With a dash of teenage sass, MANGO RASH chronicles Nancy's search for adventure--and identity--in two alien worlds: the tricky terrain of 1960s adolescence and the remote and rapidly-changing U.S.territory of American Samoa. In spite of palm trees and ocean breezes, island life is not one big beach party, Nancy finds when she clashes with her parents over forbidden boys, discovers double standards in the expat community, and cowers through a hurricane.Like Nancy, readers of this unforgettable memoir will fall in love with Samoa's lava-rimmed beaches, frangipani-laced air, and open-hearted people, who face adversity with grace. And just as Nancy does when her own health crisis thrusts her into a very different kind of unfamiliar territory, readers will draw strength from fa'a Samoa: the Samoan Way. In language as lush as the island landscape, MANGO RASH enchants, entertains, and, ultimately inspires with its message about embracing and learning from other cultures.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
