Table of contents: title: "This is the story of a woman entering a consular career on her own after the death of her Foreign Service officer husband. She describes the consular world with humor, empathy, and anecdotes. She was sure that the appointment handed to her out of the blue was intended to tide her over, presumably just until she married again. But she went on to serve for twenty years as a consular officer in four posts, first looking after American hippies in India and after that a huge American business community in Hong Kong. She was principal officer in the Yucatán area of Mexico, then consul general in Bucharest, Romania, before and after a revolution that resulted in the demise of dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu"; title: Publisher's website.
