Description
When Debbie Goehring and her husband Ron gave away their winter clothes, said their goodbyes, and boarded a plane for a volcanic island in the middle of a Nicaraguan lake, they thought they were choosing transformation. They were wrong. Choosing transformation and actually being transformed are entirely different things, and Ometepe Island had its own ideas about which one they would get.
The Monkey Lady's Gift is the memoir of a decade spent becoming someone new in a place that demanded everything. Part adventure, part reckoning, part love story with an island, with a people, and with a version of herself she hadn't known was waiting. This is Debbie Goehring's account of what it really means to leave your old life behind.
On Ometepe they tell of La Mujer Mono, the Monkey Lady: a girl who crossed between worlds and was never entirely one thing or the other again. Standing waist-deep in Lake Cocibolca on the morning she finally understood what the island had given her, Goehring realized the legend had been about her all along.
The gift was never the island, the sunsets, or the lake. It was who she had become in the space between worlds.
