Written in first-person, the book reads like a memoir. Ellis Robinson shares her experiences in Baja, Mexico, where roughly built homes have a spectacular view of the Pacific Ocean.

Being a sharp, patient, kind soul she tolerates the many conflicts her neighbors experience and sometimes cause. Over time, the presence of the cartel is felt as bodies are found on the camp’s beach. Her time at the camp ends with an astonishing conclusion.

The book is as enjoyable as a vacation. And like life, it has its conflicts and surprising turns.
