Cathy Dreyfuss

In 1974, Cathy Dreyfuss left Berkeley, California, and set off down the Gringo Trail through Mexico, Central and South America. She expected to have an adventure and return with a few good stories. What she didn't anticipate was falling in love: with a man, a language, a culture, and a way of life. With unflinching honesty, Dreyfuss recounts the heartaches and highlights of two years that changed her life and revealed her calling.
