Like the mirror chips in a rotating ball, these stories provide reflections of the shifting realities of a small-town world in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, before it became the trendy vacation destination and retirement paradise it is today.You can delight in these intimate portraits that provide honest, personal, sometimes funny sometimes painful views of the human ironies and complexities in the experiences with the same people in the same community over a twenty-year period. Costa Rica was a not a vacation spot for the author; it was her home.
