My Heart Lies South, Young People's Edition: The Story of My Mexican Marriage
Paperback
(Ignatius Press Sept. 1, 2000)
, Young Peoples Edition
What happens when a thoroughly twentieth-century American lady journalist becomes a Mexican se?ora in nineteen-thirties' provincial Monterrey? She finds herself?sometimes hilariously?coping with servants, daily food allowances, bargaining, and dramatic Latin emotions. It is like stepping back a hundred years. In this vivid autobiography, Newbery Award winning author Elizabeth Borton de Trevi?o brings to life her experiences with the culture and the faith of a civilization so close to the United States, but rarely appreciated or understood. This special young people's edition presents the humor and the insights of a remarkable woman and her contact with an era which is now past, but not to be forgotten.
