Describes life on any Rancho in Mexico in the early 70's,
situations familiar as well as amusing. Like Water for Chocolate,
these twelve short stories of love unfold in the Mexican desert. As
a young woman I was introduced to one particular family when I
spoke no Spanish and they spoke no English. Young readers will find
this bi-cultural adventure packed with anthropological moments that
come to life. Whether getting water or getting married humans
change little from one generation to the next. The love of beauty,
awe, and surprise is never out of date and always worth
remembering. The stories are written and formatted side by side for
ease to learn Spanish or learn English. The translations are unique
as a testament and educational. I have told these crazy stories at
parties and to strangers for forty years. The stories are meant to
cross cultures and bring joy to anyone who is learning to bridge
two worlds through the language of communication from Spanish into
English.
