This book provides a rare glimpse of life in a small town in southern Chile in the early 1900's as seen through the eyes of a young girl. Carmen Julia shares her stories of perseverence and resourcefulness, representative of how the early settler adapted to make life bearable and meaningful. Julia surmounts many challenges as a woman in the pursuit of a higher education in a rural setting. She shares the excitement of a flowering romance from the perspective of a young woman trying to find her way in a cosmopolitan city where she develops into a successful professional. We are presented a personal and passionate account of how families were torn apart by ideology and violence through the turmoil of a military coup and struggles that Chile underwent in the 1970's. Her clarity of description brings you back to these times with unique glimpses of the emotional aftermath of a time and place in history that is now buried by time. Her professional, family, and spiritual life thereafter unfolds as she explores the world. The book concludes with a beautiful, enlightening, and transcending spiritual experience.
