Gringa Without Bread

By Winifred Scheffler

In l969, the author of this memoir had a dream job on Capitol Hill and an active social life in Washington, D.C., and thought she had met the man she would marry. When that romance fell through, she impulsively quit her job and fled to Mexico. With no knowledge of Spanish, no means of support, and no possessions beyond her hand luggage, she embarked on an adventure that would permanently change her life."Living by my wits in a foreign country, life became far more difficult, but incomparably richer," she writes. "I was 36 when I went to Mexico, but this is not the usual story of finding a new love in some exotic foreign setting. Well, yes, it is, because I left the U.S. alone, and I returned with my forever lovable daughter."
