The memoir details encountering 'Unsung Heroes' in Turkey, Iran, and Central Asia.
Persian rug sellers, olive farmers, earthquake survivors, barbers, as well as micro-finance projects in Turkmenistan.
Alfie - a committed follower of Jesus - intended to live in a small town until he died. He almost did. Until a stroke struck him in 2020.
