About the Book

Two sisters huddle together on a rain-soaked Argentinean railroad platform in 1968. Alicia and Marta are about to embark on a remarkable migration which will take them across two continents, ending in the United States and beyond. At least, that's the plan. The idea of two attractive young women traveling alone in South and Central America during the turbulent 1960s fills their relatives with dread. Uncle Toti puts into words what everyone fears when he dourly proclaims the sisters will be "raped and killed" in some remote and dangerous road. Making the risk even greater was their significant lack of money, but to Alicia and Marta the risk of not leaving Argentina was the greatest risk of all. The sisters endure serious setbacks and obstacles on their journey, yet they encounter kindhearted and helpful strangers along the way. Three months later they find themselves thousands of miles away from their homeland in the United States where a new hurdle must be overcome before Alicia and Marta carve out new lives in Denver, Colorado.
About the Author: Alicia Anderson and her sister Marta left Argentina in 1968. With little money but an abundance of determination, the two young women spent three months traveling to their new home in the United States. Alicia was twenty-two. With the passing of her sister Marta, Alicia decided to tell their remarkable story. She based On Daring and Life on personal recollections, backed up with information from her letters home and personal journals. Alicia settled in Denver, Colorado in 1973 where she and husband Carl raised their two children and became business partners. She graduated with honors from the University of Colorado at Denver and volunteered to teach Spanish, French, and ESL to children and adults. Ms. Anderson lives and works in Florida. She is writing a second book based on later journeys. On Daring and Life will soon be available in Spanish.
