Married to a Legend, Don Pepe

Married to a Legend, Don Pepe is the autobiography of Dona Henrietta's life during her time in Costa Rica and marriage to Don Pepe Figueres, former President of Costa Rica. From a young student at Birmingham Southern College to the first, First Lady of the Second Republic of Costa Rica, Henrietta propels us into her life of adventure, marriage, exile, motherhood, revolution, and leadership in this remarkable memoir. It begins in 1940 when Dona Henrietta received a postcard from an aunt and uncle who had settled in Costa Rica after living in several Latin American countries. After falling in love with the postcard, the audacious young Henrietta started one of her many astounding life journeys, literally following the card to Costa Rica. The rest as they say, is history-literally.
