(To Suzanne Hart, falling in love seemed just as improbabl...)
To Suzanne Hart, falling in love seemed just as improbable as teaching in a foreign country. In 1958, the Korean War seemed to have faded from the memories of all except the veterans, while the philosophy of the Beat writers intrigued the intellectual avant-garde. Perrin Carlyle was a revelation to Suzanne: editor of the campus paper, muckraker, grad student, and war veteran, he was the most interesting man she d ever met. For an English major earning a teacher s license, discovering Binational Centers was another eye-opener Suzanne could apply to teach English as a second language at a Binational Center in any country sponsoring the program. The man and the job were more than Suzanne had dreamed; they take her to South America, where, from the innocence of the cloistered dormitory, to the turbulence of Colómbia, her life is dramatically changed. Suzanne s transition to adulthood unfolds amidst the realities of a nation s struggle for democracy. How she deals with the unexpected in marriage and life in a foreign culture, while retaining her enthusiasm for new experiences, make this an absorbing narrative of love and international politics.

2010 BAIPA Award Winner: Best Novel. The park was beautiful, as were the restored Victorian houses nearby, but Sacramento Park Ranger Hank Forrester predicts that drunks and vagrants will migrate there to drink and panhandle, and criticizes city officials for having created a skid row. Claire Patterson, still grieving the recent deaths of her husband and aunt, has chosen an entirely new direction: she ll manage the bookstore and live in the Victorian her aunt has bequeathed her. At a time when women are starting to buy homes and run their own businesses, Claire s accomplishments and the love she finds make for an engrossing narrative of a daring young woman, a government agency run amok, and a unique solution to an intractable problem.
