Coming of Age in Honduras is a fascinating memoir. Persons who have lived abroad for a time in a culture different from their own, particularly in a developing country, are likely to find points of connection and much to identify with in Clymer's story of his two years living, learning, and serving in Honduras. Even for persons who have not lived abroad, it offers important and interesting observations and insights written in an engaging, entertaining style with a transparency and honesty that at times can surprise.
The author's sojourn in Honduras affected him so profoundly that it became the defining experience of his life. It captured his heart and soul and permeated his life; expanding his worldview, awakening him to poverty and injustice, informing his future life choices, and propelling him forward in his quest for God and his commitment to living out his faith with humility, empathy, integrity, and courage.
In the introduction, the author states, "My hope is that others who struggle with poverty and justice may find new insights for their journey with faith within this book. I also hope that my story will be inspiring and entertaining." For this reader, it was that and more! I'm sure that many readers will find it so.
