“I want to share my knowledge and experience of living in a different culture;” Townley said, “Chile’s tragic history, the warmth of its people, its amazing geographic extremes, a taste of Chile’s literary traditions and its fascinating ongoing political turmoil.”

Townley’s voluntary work with Amnesty International led to her full-time voluntary work in Chile for two years, working in disadvantaged communities. There, she chronicled her experiences and observations in a diary that ultimately led to the crafting of “The Dogs Are Curling Up Again.”

“I hope to encourage an understanding and empathy with refugees from anywhere in the world;” Townley said, “and to recognize that exile itself is a further loss and pain on top of their original suffering that brought about their need to flee their country.”
