My Heart Lies South: The Story of My Mexican Marriage by Elizabeth Borton de Treviño

funny inspiring reflective medium-paced

3.0

This was a sweet, informative and often humorous book about a woman marrying cross culturally and all of the blunders and joys that came with it. I loved hearing from an American perspective on the ways that perhaps other cultures have it right and we have it wrong - in regards to respect for elders, caring for the sick, and even in parenting. While it wasn’t a fast read, I never dreaded picking it up again. I learned much about Mexican culture and laughed out loud a few times.
