She left the practice of law, sold her house, and put her belongings in storage. Then, packing up what she thought she'd need in seven suitcases, her cat in his travel crate, her computer, and assorted items in a carry-on, she took the twenty-plus hour plane trip to Moldova. While there, she discovered a different culture and learned how to adapt her skills in a new and impoverished environment. She left home a lawyer, she came back a writer. A Year in Moldova, A Year of Discovery, A Volunteer Memoir is a record of her personal growth and her efforts to help the legal community change from a Communist model to a Democratic one while encouraging self-determination and self-reliance. As one Judge said, "Roberta, you are giving them the pole, not the fish."
