Publisher's Synopsis
If Eat, Pray, Love married Bridget Jones, Threads of Silver would be their offspring. Searching for warmth and simplicity after a brush with death, Cynthia Barlow sets out for a quaint little fishing village on the Mexican Pacific coast. With the help of an uninvited reptilian housemate named George, blue-collar wisdom imparted by a local ex-pat, and a cast of characters and fisher-folk who have lived in the sleepy little pueblo for generations, she begins a five-year journey in search of a new life. Along the way she discovers exactly what she didn't know she had been seeking all along. Navigating new cultures and old inconveniences, Cynthia finds solace and gratitude in unexpected ways; mining meaning from the mundane and humor from humiliation, she reminds us that the small moments in life, the threads of silver, are what really matter. In fact, they're all that matter.
