John E. Smith Jr. didn't know how much his life was going to change when he first laid eyes on the woman who would one day be his wife. Their passionate courtship set up a lifetime of love and contentment. After finishing his education, Smith decided to return to his bride's home in Mexico. This was the beginning of a sixty-year adventure the two shared with each other, their friends, and eventually their many children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Now, surrounded by the fifty-nine members of his extended family and grateful for the many memories of happiness, Smith writes a dual ode to the American dream and the Mexican dream. Both inspired him and pushed him forward. In addition to his personal life story and anecdotes as an expat in Mexico, Smith includes information about his advertising and marketing career. He also provides unique insight into the political and social changes sweeping Mexico in the second half of the twentieth century. Whether it is in his personal life or professional life, Smith has excelled. His stories of challenge, success, and happiness will resonate with anyone who has made a big life change and reaped the rewards.
