A lovely memoir, covering the two years that Kennedy spent in small-town Mexico volunteering for a micro-credit community organisation. Full of insight and thoughtfulness, as she hammers away at the trade-offs between community spirit and safety. Kennedy's books is largely about Mexico - its education system, its family and community life and its warm-spiritedness - but the implications for Australia (and the west in general) are clear and sad.

Sing, and Don't Cry is Cate Kennedy's sensual and touching evocation of her time spent working as a volunteer in small town Mexico. The people she comes to love in Tequisquiapan, and their gusto for celebration, pilgrimage and family, force her to cast a penetrating light on her own Western values and ways. ?What is truly essential, and who is truly poor?' asks Kennedy in a book that also challenges the reader to care more for his or her world. Described as ?a travel book with a social conscience' this essential memoir, from the award'winning fiction writer and poet, is funny, warm, yet ultimately disarming.
