"Taking the Roads Less Traveled" Story in the Pelican Press
Leslie Butterfield, Ph.D., Corporate Communications Consultant:
For anyone who loves to explore diverse cultures, At Home in the World will inspire your next journey. Dorothy Conlon is a true world citizen who gets personally involved wherever she goes, making her stories real and passionate. Her trips are not vacations but in-depth travel immersions where she combines living, working and participating in local life. I admire Dorothy’s courage as a traveler and wisdom as a story teller. This is an inspiring and terrific book!
Donald Y. Gilmore, Retired Foreign Service Officer
Dorothy Conlon is one of those irrepressible can-do spirits whose travel accounts arouse our own nostalgia for far-off places.
J. Lynn McBrien, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Education, University of South Florida
Dorothy’s description of her many travels delights all the senses. I could smell and taste the spicy Indian foods, feel my leg muscles grow tired trekking the hilly country in Central America, hear the lovely cadence of Spanish and Mayan dialects, as well as see not only the diverse topography but also the beauty of people in their unique world cultures. Conlon moves between history, geography, and personal narrative in a seamless way that is sure to please her readers and have them planning adventures of their own.
