About the Book (Excerpts & Info)
 
Two teenagers, fed up with their lives, suddenly leave home and go south to Mexico. There, Randy and Jason encounter what they don’t expect—a series of challenges to their courage, loyalty, and manhood. Violence at the border waves a flag of warning. In San Miguel de Allende they suddenly leave their hotel. In Guadalajara they confront hijackers. On a ranch near Sabinas they sport with a pastoral paradise. But in Del Rio, Texas, their dream ends. Along the way they meet a group of bizarre characters – all memorably described – who offer direction, affection, and exploitation.





This bold, concise novel – organized into cinematic clips – traces a tough journey into maturity. Despite their painful pasts, Randy and Jason discover the fun of living, the nature of their bond, and the risks of betrayal. Seen through Randy’s quizzical eyes, the novel captures the beauty and brutality of Mexico. The book is gritty, full of humor, fiercely honest, and, at the end, moving and poignant.
