Martín Prechtel continues the narrative of his unique life in Santiago, Atitlan in Long Life, Honey in the Heart, an eloquent memoir replete with the subtle intelligence and sophistication of Mayan culture.
Set against the dramatic backdrop of Guatemala's political upheaval in the 1980s, this heady mix of magic, humor, and spirituality immerses the listeners in the experiences of Mayan birth, courting, marriage, child-rearing, old age, death, and beyond, using the true story of Prechtel's own family and friends.

Critic reviews
"It's an encyclopedia of beauty...like some poem of Neruda's, it is a treasure house of language, in service to life." (Robert Bly, author of The Night Abraham called to the Stars)
"Friend, if you have picked up this book, hold it. Don't set it down. Let it call. Let it enter. Let it undo the latch of forgetfulness It is not an academic study, nor event the personal account it at first appears. It is a hymn from the living heart of the universe, echoing in our being with praise and remembrance of that we didn't know we remembered." (Paul Weiss, director, Whole Health Center, Bar Harbor, Maine)

It is not simply a story - it is a portal into our own souls, and the lives they are calling us to live. It is a call to revolution - to transform our inner world and our society to be capable of holding the resplendent grief and beauty of life in a true Village. To re-make the nobility, heartbreak, and beauty of the human soul. It is a window for all those from a soulless culture to look upon another way of being and doing everything.
