Del valor de tomarse el tiempo para hacer en la vida, y para ser en la vida.

Charming, yet incisive in its attention to the degradation of the coffee trade, US farmstead, and small town living. Implications are deeply rooted in this otherwise feel-good story of a man who travels to the DR to discover a new purpose in life--and love. I would have liked this a lot more had it not been for the neat little bow tied on the end of the story (personal preference).

I love some things more than others. Among those things: steep green slopes; knock you down strong coffee; community that exists solely to support its members. This had all three, with some solid writing to boot... so of course I loved it.

[4.5 stars for making me want to consider a move, to grow coffee in the sun.]
