"Sojourns in West Africa" is a memoir of a young man's month-long hitchhiking trip through West Africa and a tale of lasting relationships begun far from home.

Join Steven Keenan on three separate West African journeys. Catch a ride on a four-thousand-mile hitchhiking trek across West Africa at the peak of the cold war. Return in 1998 with a refugee boy who, following medical treatment in the United States, is returning to his family in Ivory Coast. Visit a post-war Liberia that westerners rarely encounter and the village Keenan served years earlier as a Peace Corps teacher.
