Publisher's summary

In her earlier title in this two-book series, A Lifetime to Get Here: San Miguel de Allende, Cynthia mined her blog posts about being a visitor in San Miguel for longer and longer periods of time and in all of the seasons over a four-year period, 2009-2012, to offer the honest views of an older, single woman navigating on her own a country new to her. Now, in this second book, Is This My Life? San Miguel and Beyond, Cynthia tells of her life as an almost full-time residente permanente, having sold her home in Philadelphia, presenting anecdotes about experiences and situations—both wildly humorous and deeply emotional—that happened to her, told in her relaxed, intimate conversational style, brimming with luscious details. The Beyond part encompasses short small-group adventures to such diverse places as the southern state of Chiapas, which borders Guatemala; Uruapan, the second-largest city in the state of Michoacán; and an eco-journey to the state of Hidalgo in central Mexico, north of Mexico City. Cynthia’s love for Mexico and all things Mexican, and San Miguel especially, shines through all of her stories, whether she is complaining about minor difficulties, breathlessly telling a gripping story, or laughing at herself over the linguistic or cultural errors that she makes. You, too, will come to love San Miguel and Mexico when you listen to this delightful book.

Thank you for the gift of your stories!

As one of the newest and most enthusiastic residents to begin my life in San Miguel, I was thrilled to find these books written about the day-to-day experiences in a city that is indescribably magical.
I found them all very relevant and relatable end it's been a comfort to read this book as I make this journey myself into this new chapter of my life, as a fellow writer and single woman and appreciator of my new hometown.
Thank you, Cynthia!
