Lucy Shook went to Afghanistan in 1965 with her husband, Jim, as part of an American contingent from the Agency for International Development (AID). Hired to manage the Staff House, a small hotel/restaurant that served the AID community, Lucy had fifteen Afghan men working for her. News of them infused her copious letters home as she became involved in their lives. In these missives, you see her eye for detail, her willingness to laugh at herself as a newcomer in an ancient land, and her love for Afghanistan. You are invited to get to know Lucy as well as Sahki, Bairde, Barot, Mumadali, and a host of other interesting people.
