China Spicy and Salty by Virginia Heslinga
China Spicy and Salty invites readers into the remarkable true story of an American teacher who cannot figure out a persistent desire for time in China and who leads a small, unlikely team, a nurse, a tennis coach, a pastor, and a ten-year-old boy, to the remote edge of the Gobi Desert. Partnering with a local NGO, they work side by side with Chinese and Mongolian teachers, navigating not just classrooms but also the complexities of culture, teaching strategies, faith, and friendship. More than a travel memoir, this is a vivid portrait of China beyond tourism-where hospitality runs deep, cultural misunderstandings spark unexpected lessons, and the grit of daily life shapes personal transformation. For readers drawn to adventure, cross-cultural exchange, and stories that blend humor, humility, and heart, China Spicy and Salty:2006 offers a window into a world both foreign and deeply human.| SKU | Unavailable |
