Todavia Mexico: Life Beyond the Border

Eighteen years ago, Judith Gille fell in love with a hot-pink house on a run-down alleyway in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Without consulting her husband, Gille impulsively bought the house, began befriending her Mexico neighbors and has never looked back. Her memoir, The View from Casa Chepitos: A Journey Beyond the Border, recieved numerous awards including Writer’s Digest Grand Prize for an E-Book in 2013. In this new collection of essays, Gille celebrates her eighteen years in Mexico and offers readers keen insights into the joys and complications of living on the southern side of the U.S. Mexico border.

With humor and respect for a country she’s grown to love, Gille gives the reader a sorely-needed perspective on Americans in Mexico and Mexicans in America. Her deeper message of personal transformation and cultural understanding resonates on many levels. –Barbara Sjoholm, author of The Palace of the Snow Queen: Winter Travels in Lapland.
