In 1962 Joan Fry was a college sophomore recently married to a dashing anthropologist. Naively consenting to a year-long ""working honeymoon"" in Belize, she soon found herself living in a remote Kekchi village deep in the rainforest. Fry's efforts to win over her neighbours and students offers a rare and insightful picture of the Kekchi Maya of Belize, even as this unique culture was disappearing before her eyes.
