Betsy Small's book, Before Before: A Story of Discovery and Loss in Sierra Leone, offers a profound narrative that intertwines personal experience with the rich cultural assortment of Sierra Leone. Drawing from her time as a Peace Corps volunteer in the mid-1980s, Small delves into the daily lives of the Tokpombu village community, highlighting their resilience amidst historical and contemporary challenges. The memoir provides a nuanced perspective on a nation often overshadowed by its struggles, emphasizing the enduring strength and wisdom of its people.
