About this book
A journey that begins with adventure soon plunges into the depths of one of Africa's darkest moments. The Shattered Pearl is the gripping memoir of Sara L. Armstrong, an ordinary woman thrust into extraordinary circumstances. Born in Chicago, Sara joined the Peace Corps in 1966, driven by a hunger for exploration and service.
