520    "The riveting story of how three years spent in the United
       States transformed Frida Kahlo into the artist we know 
       today Mexican artist Frida Kahlo adored adventure. In 
       November, 1930, she was thrilled to realize her dream of 
       traveling to the United States to live in San Francisco, 
       Detroit, and New York. Still, leaving her family and her 
       country for the first time was monumental. Only twenty-
       three and newly married to the already world-famous forty-
       three-year-old Diego Rivera, she was at a crossroads in 
       her life and this new place, one filled with magnificent 
       beauty, horrific poverty, racial tension, anti-Semitism, 
       ethnic diversity, bland Midwestern food, and a thriving 
       music scene, pushed Frida in unexpected directions. Shifts
       in her style of painting began to appear, cracks in her 
       marriage widened, and tragedy struck, twice while she was 
       living in Detroit. Frida in America is the first in-depth 
       biography of these formative years spent in Gringolandia, 
       a place Frida couldn't always understand. But it's 
       precisely her feelings of being a stranger in a strange 
       land that fueled her creative passions and an even 
       stronger sense of Mexican identity. With vivid detail, 
       Frida in America recreates the pivotal journey that made 
       Senora Rivera the world famous Frida Kahlo"--|cProvided by
