This book humanizes the lives and work of development workers and the environments they work in. With humor and sensitivity, McKee also allows us into his own life and family for some of the most endearing parts of his story. -Mehr Khan Williams, former U.N. Assistant Secretary General and Deputy High Commissioner for Human Rights

The lucky reader travels shotgun with McKee during his adventures in numerous countries: harrowing flights, back-breaking overland trips, frigid lodging, humorous cultural misunderstandings, and local foods consumed to be respectful. Interwoven in the narrative are engaging details of his multi-continent courtship with Elizabeth, who would become his life partner in this odyssey. -Jane Bertrand, Professor, Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine

A wonderful memoir full of adventure, insight, humor, and feeling. Readers are treated to a balanced mix of technical challenges, "on the road" adventures, a love story, behavioral sciences, and proof that development-related communication makes a difference. -Gary Saffitz, former Deputy Director/Faculty, Johns Hopkins University's CCP, and marketing executive

This is a memoir that will appeal to the first generation who lived the opportunities offered by the creation of the international volunteer movement: Peace Corps, CUSO, VSO, UNV. McKee's curriculum vita is also a history in miniature of an era in international development, a firsthand report of the past waning, a future waxing. -Christopher Smart, former CUSO volunteer

McKee's chapters covering his time with Canada's International Development Research Centre provide a powerful reminder of why and how this agency, in the 1970s and 1980s, became a global leader in pioneering new approaches to the field of international development. For me, the most exciting output and outcomes from McKee's design skills are represented by the animated cartoon stories of Meena and Sara and their impact on young people across Asia and Africa. -Don Simpson, Ph.D., Chief Explorer of the Renaissance Expedition

I physically feel as though I've now been to Southern Africa, Uganda, India, Sri Lanka, and more! McKee's powerful writing pulled me into the environment and relationships he forged throughout his career as an international film and media producer. -Crystal J. Casavant Otto, Avid Reader and Book Blogger.
