Still Love in Strange Places: A Memoir

Still Love in Strange Places: A Memoir

When Beth Kephart met and fell in love with the artist who would become her husband, she had little knowledge of the place he came from - an exotic coffee farm high in the jungle hills of El Salvador, a place of terrifying myths and even more frightening realities, of civil war and devastating earthquakes. Yet love, she finds, means accepting not only the stranger who is one's lover but also the stranger's history - in this case, a country, language, people and culture utterly foreign to a young American woman. Kephart's transcendently lyrical prose has already made her a finalist for the American National Book Award. In this new work, illuminated with her own photographs, she offers her testament to the ties that bind: the love, by choice, of a man, and the love, by necessity, of his homeland.
