Beschreibung

In the summer of 1960, Francie Garber, nineteen years old and a junior at Smith College, left New York City on the SS Independence and set sail across the Atlantic. Eight days later, she arrived at the port of Algeciras in Southern Spain and from there took the train to Madrid. Francie would spend the next year fully immersed in Spain, a nation still under the firm grip of Francisco Franco. The events, encounters, and relationships from that single year would forever change her life. The friendships continue to the present. Told largely through letters Francie wrote home and reflections years later, this is her story.

Über den Autor

Francie Garber Pepper is a fifth-generation Cincinnatian who has dedicated her life to advocacy for women's rights, children, and volunteerism while raising four children, hosting numerous exchange students, and nurturing the growth of her ten grandchildren.
She graduated from Smith College in 1962 with a degree in Spanish, she spent her junior year in Spain, and she won a prize from the Spanish Embassy in Washington for the best essay in Spanish. She later worked as an executive assistant and translator/interpreter in the legal department of an international company which brought her back to her beloved Spain.
She and her husband, John, were married in 1967. Together with their four children, they made five international moves starting in Rome in 1974 followed by two tours in Belgium. Her experiences, challenges, joys, and cultural immersion in Italy during the years 1974-1977 leap from her candid letters which she wrote on almost a daily basis to her parents and family at home.
