THEY ONLY EAT THEIR HUSBANDS
A Memoir of Alaskan Love, World Travel,
and the Power of Running Away
Coming in Fall 2010
"A delightfully engaging read. Lee reminds us that in travel as in life, the inward journey is as messy, important and rewarding as the outward one."
—Kyle Wagner, travel editor, The Denver Post
At 26, after a lover threatened to shoot her, Cara ran away to Alaska. During her nine years in the Last Frontier, she landed in a love triangle with two alcoholics: a paraglider pilot obsessed with danger and a martial artist obsessed with death. At 35, sick of addicts, Cara ran again, to backpack around the world alone.
Read an interview with Lighthouse Writers Workshop
"With an open heart, Cara Lopez Lee relates her round-the-world journey to self-discovery with the unabashed, dazzling honesty of a good friend telling you her innermost secrets over a cup of coffee. The backdrop of intriguing cultures and landscapes further enriches Lee's bold memoir, They Only Eat Their Husbands."
