Give this book to someone you care about. It is a consummate gift for sisters, mothers and women friends who are seeking to restore the meaning of their lives. Within its pages are the narratives of seventeen women as well as the author who set out on very personal pilgrimages to find, reclaim or redefine the most authentic parts of themselves by living in Mexico. Their stories will inspire you as they hurdle the traditional boundaries of the midlife woman.

About the Book
   Midlife Mavericks chronicles a new trend--unmarried American and Canadian women building better lives for themselves in the beautiful colonial villages of Mexico.

   Cozy up on a comfortable couch and share a margarita with successful women who have found an alternative to high-stress careers. Sip a glass of wine with empty nesters seeking adventure and drink a cup of coffee with retirees living in comfort on just their social security income.

    You'll laugh and cry with these gutsy gringas as they overcome their fears, talk about their joys and disappointments and reinvent the lives of their dreams -- right here in the heart of Mexico.  (Men like the book, too.)
