Part travel guidebook, part anthology, all inspiring! The Voluntary Traveler is a travel anthology penned by writers from all over the world. Focused on inspiring volunteer vacations and/or encouraging adventure-minded people to see volunteer work as a part of ones longer journey, the book will also include a volunteer guide section, listing charities needing volunteer assistance, plus organizations that coordinate service orientated travel.

The book’s creator and content editor, author Nola Lee Kelsey, has a goal of producing a title that helps people see the best aspects of making a positive impact through “voluntourism” and dispels the perception of volunteer vacations as a sacrifice. In other word, we focus on the good, the amusing, the mind-expanding and the adventurous facets of this type of travel. Shelley Seale is a contributing author to The Voluntary Traveler, penning the first chapter of the book about volunteer travel to India.

Sara Barton is a woman who has spent years frantically pursuing a mediocre and entirely unexamined life - one without sorrows, without scars. Sara's best friend, Jule, has been missing from her life for eight years. Jule's disappearance was so inexplicable and painful that Sara has obliterated all remembrances of her--until a photograph suddenly brings them back. Thus Sara begins an unwilling journey into the blackness of her abyss to put together the pieces of her memories, answers to the question of what had happened, and most of all to see if she can somehow find the Sara she had once been. Sara Sometimes is a story about friendship and loss and survival. It is about the selves we discard along the way to becoming the person we are.
