Description: "Mexico has long cast a spell over us, its neighbor--and alter ego--to the north. We share a history, exalt its food, and honor its artistic luminaries. We cross the border in droves, heading to warm waters, busy city centers, open-air mercados, language classrooms, cousins' living rooms, and majestic temples. It is a country that inspires passion and adventure, that invites meaningful cultural exchange. In this eloquent collection, women share firsthand experiences with the people, history, and landscape of this rich country. Transcending ordinary travelogue, the narrative essays capture the ways in which Mexico has shaped lives or influenced decisions, how the country has affected each woman in profound ways. In expressing their love for the country, the diverse writers share intimate stories as visceral as they are poignant, as entertaining as they are endearing. Whether a seasoned traveler or an armchair adventurer, a Mexico aficionado or just beginning to learn about the country, reading this compelling collection will enrich your understanding of Mexico, and how experiences abroad can impact your life."--Publisher's website.
