A Place Beyond Midnight

Set in a remote village in the wilds of the Kenyan bush, A Place Beyond Midnight chronicles the exciting and luminous stories from the journal of a young Peace Corps volunteer. Cody Hawks experiences the wonders, challenges, and personal injunctions in East Africa with friends bound together in noble purpose. He has come to Kenya to break from his past and write a new story for himself. A story of service and sacrifice. His indelible often humorous narration recounts the problems he and his friends face as they struggle to navigate an alien landscape, a different culture, and a new language. His journey to reinvent himself is framed by perils at every turn in Kenya's harsh environment. Along the journey, daring misadventures test his resolve while kindness, compassion and the lessons of genuine friendship and self-discovery evolve. He confronts ignorance, tradition and danger when faced with life and death, and discovers unexpected passion in the turbulence that is Africa.
