Marquito González, an outstanding student and high school track star, returns to Mexico with his undocumented parents. He has lost everything: his chance to go to college, his girlfriend, and his dreams. Back in Mexico after ten years of being Americanized, Marquito doesn't know who he is or how to survive. He finds work as a waiter at the five-star Sunset Point Hotel in Cabo San Lucas. Angry, confused, and vulnerable, he meets Ashley, a red-haired runaway radical, a tattooed gringa with an asymmetrical bob. She feeds his anger and resentment as they plan how to shut down the resort and terrorize the guests. Vera and Ollie Webster, timeshare owners at Sunset Point, sit at Marquito's table for breakfast each morning. Ollie was a successful corporate attorney, but now in retirement, he questions the value of his law career and ponders anew the purpose of life. Vera, a former social worker, wants to do some good with their wealth before they die by helping the workers they have befriended, particularly Marquito, who seems so lost and upset. Can she match him up with Maribel, the dimpled breakfast cook who watches him with loving eyes? Includes Readers Guide.
