Description of item: Crossing the River: A Life in Brazil by Amy Ragsdale is a vivid travel literature and memoir that delves into the author's transformative experiences after relocating from the United States to a small town in northeastern Brazil. This move was driven by her desire to escape the fast-paced, competitive lifestyle she and her family were immersed in. The book describes how Ragsdale, her husband, and their teenage children adapt to a radically different cultural and economic environment, forming deep connections with local residents. Their integration into the community provides a unique window into rural Brazilian life, marked by simplicity and profound interpersonal relationships. Through her narrative, Ragsdale explores themes of identity, family, and the meaning of home, offering insights into the ways less materialistic cultures can enrich one's life. The memoir is noted for its elegant prose and the evocative portrayal of the Brazilian landscape and its people, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in stories of cultural immersion and personal growth.
