About the Book

"This Part Of The Sky is proof positive of Margaret Mead's adage, 'Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.' The simplicity of the message defined by Maragh Taylor will provide the roadmap to fulfilling your personal legacy." -Kathleen Durham, Executive Director, The Eleanor Roosevelt Leadership Center at Val-Kill

An engaging storyteller, Wendy Maragh Taylor takes us with her as she and her husband travel to Liberia, West Africa - his birthplace. Based on her journal reflections, this book chronicles their journey to the interior where they participated in the construction of a building that now functions as a church and school in Zorzor, Liberia. Wendy reveals her innermost thoughts as she shares the culture shock she experienced, reconsiders her own perceptions about this foreign land and discovers the love and admiration she holds for the people of Liberia. The plan had been to give a group of people the help her husband promised. Their hope was to positively impact a community. What she hadn't expected was the transformation that took place in her as well. With laugh-out-loud accounts and thought-provoking situations, along with step-by-step directions so readers can take action to serve other communities, Wendy draws us in and invites us to look with her at this part of the sky.

"We are honored. It is too fine. The whole town will read this book." - Dennis Tarbo, Elder in Zorzor, Liberia

"...This story is both a cultural journey into an area rarely seen by western eyes and an affirmation that despite our differences, we have much in common. And by climbing out of her comfort zone, Wendy, with her charming descriptions of her misadventures, learns a lot about herself. With an ending like no other, Wendy makes a call to action that is hard to ignore. May we all be inspired by This Part Of The Sky." - MJ Hanley-Goff, writer, editor, Hudson Valley Parent - Hudson Valley Life; and author of the upcoming How Writing Can Get You Through Hard Times and Joyous Ones
