Lushly evocative of Nicaragua, its tumultuous history, and vibrant present, Eleni N. Gage's The Ladies of Managua brings you into the lives of three strong and magnetic women, as they uncover the ramifications of the choices they made in their pasts and begin to understand the ways in which love can shape their futures. When Maria Vazquez returns to Nicaragua for her beloved grandfather's funeral, she brings with her a mysterious package from her grandmother's past—and a secret of her own. And she also carries the burden of her tense relationship with her mother Ninexin, once a storied revolutionary, now a tireless government employee. Between Maria and Ninexin lies a chasm created by the death of Maria's father, who was killed during the revolution when Maria was an infant, leaving her to be raised by her grandmother Isabela as Ninexin worked to build the new Nicaragua. As Ninexin tries to reach her daughter, and Maria wrestles with her expectations for her romance with an older man, Isabela, the mourning widow, is lost in memories of attending boarding school in 1950's New Orleans, where she loved and lost almost sixty years ago. When the three women come together to bid farewell to the man who anchored their family, they are forced to confront their complicated, passionate relationships with each other and with their country—and to reveal the secrets that each of them have worked to conceal.

Living in Nicaragua tells two stories. The first is my work as an agricultural missionary managing a small farm on the outskirts of Managua. The second tells the stories of several short-term assignments with the U.S. government in Eastern Europe, Africa, South America and Central America. I had already served in the Peace Corps in El Salvador and spoke Spanish fluently. We were in the second year of a drought; therefore, there was not much we could do regarding planting garden or grain crops to sell in the local market. The entire area had grass growing on it. We bought a milk cow and sold milk. We needed more animals to eat all the available grass. I was worried about what the cows would eat during the dry season. With much difficulty, we tried to grow garden crops and sell milk. Needing transportation, I flew to Panama and bought a motorcycle in the Canal Zone and drove it up the Pan American highway to Managua. I had motor problems and had to sleep in the rain forest until my cycle was repaired. We worked to develop the farm to help the local small farmers learn best practices in production and marketing.
