TWO YEARS IN KINGSTON TOWN is the story of a married couple--Jeff, a psychologist, and Maria, a psychiatric nurse--that decide to pull up stakes and go off for a two-year sojourn as Peace Corps Volunteers in Jamaica. It tells of their training, their struggles to adapt, what they did in their assignments at the University Hospital of the West Indies, places they visited, and people they met. Written with insight and humor, it gives the reader an inside look at Jamaican culture, customs, history and politics. It brings to life the vibrant, colorful city of Kingston and describes places and things in Jamaica that few visitors ever see. It also deals with the challenges and rewards of Peace corps service, and describes what it's like to do therapy with drug addicts in a developing country. Like Ireland, Jamaica has had an influence on world culture disproportionate to its size. TYIKT immerses the reader in the experience of living and working on this beautiful tropic island, and provides insights into why this is so.
