Summary: Having a Wonderful Time, Wish you were here!
Review: "Midlife Mavericks" takes the fear out of moving to a third world country. Karen Blue explores the continuing trend of North Americans retiring in Mexico. She focuses on single women who leave careers, adult children, and their lives behind for an idyllic and simpler life in a Mexican village. I felt as if I'd met the women interviewed in this book because I lived in the Lake Chapala area for five years. A large population of retirees have lived in the region for more than half a century. The well-established English speaking society and a generous Mexican community welcomes them with open arms. This is a must read for anyone considering moving to this Americanized part of Mexico.

Summary: A MUST READ FOR ALL WOMEN CONTEMPLATING A MOVE TO MEXICO
Review: I found Karen Blue's book so inspiring that I couldn't put it down. I read it in one sitting! It confirmed feelings about a decision I had my heart set on and described emotions that I had been feeling. Karen is a very down to earth writer, who leads the reader through the maze of emotions that come with giving up a career and a good life in the pursuit of a dream. That nagging feeling that there is something else out there and it is calling our names. I now know that I have made the right decision and I too, am finally pursuing my long-time dream, thanks to the encouragement of this special book. Bravo Karen Blue!
