Local author Sue McKee paints China with words

When guests enter her house, Susan McKee politely asks them to take off their shoes before stepping inside. It’s a habit she learned in China, and one she still likes to keep along with the Oriental watercolors on the wall behind her.
As two “60-somethings,” McKee and her husband Robert decided nine years ago to embark on the kind of adventure that many half their age aren’t bold enough to do. Selling their cars and renting out their comfortable home in San Luis Obispo, the two accepted a Mormon humanitarian mission to teach English to college students in a rural village in China.
