...And So, It Began: Moments Well Lived: Recollections of Living, Teaching, and Traveling in South America - Paperback

by David Marston (Author), June Marston (Joint Author)

As a young married couple in 1976, David and June Marston shocked their family and friends by abandoning the predictable Midwestern life laid out before them and accepting teaching jobs in an American school in Cochabamba, Bolivia. The life stories of fascinating people met, the adventure of travel opportunities undertaken, and the joy of activities encountered would redefine them personally and professionally. The honest storytelling is one of enlarging moments, the humor of inexperience, and unexpected resilience that propelled the Marstons into the rest of their lives.

...And So It Began Moments Well Lived: Recollections of Living, Teaching, and Traveling in South America focuses on the timeless human need to understand ourselves and others and illuminates the fact that we are not that much different from each other. The book is perfect for adults nostalgic for the 1970s and 1980s and those interested in seeing today through the history that brought us to this moment. The memoir conveys more than just the day-to-day details of expat life. It also touches on the universality of the human experience.
