A family can't decide whether they want to live in a large, vibrant city or enjoy the peace and tranquility of farm life, so they decide to live in two places. They spend part of the year in Los Angeles and part of the year on a farm in a rural area of Nicaragua.
The stories in this book are true. They are part "slice of life" stories for children and part parenting anthropology--the author welcomes the reader to take a look at what regular, day-to-day life is like in her family.
