After losing his American husband in a hate crime, Francisco faces a difficult choice: giving up one of his toddler daughters or fleeing the country with them. To keep his family intact, he abruptly moves to Mexico. But when his daughters, Rebecca and Elena, return to the States as young adults years later, they've grown apart, ironically because of the same issues that caused the family to move in the first place. Hoping to address their discord before it's too late, Francisco asks Rebecca and Elena to visit their childhood home on the beach in Sayulita. But when they arrive, the sunset they find isn't the one they'd expected. With only a week to address a lifetime of struggles, the sisters traverse a continent of differences to find satisfaction and peace with a new understanding of their father, themselves, and life itself.
Sayulita Sunset is a contemporary novel about accepting differences while embracing commonalities. More specifically, the story, like the Esperanza, the aptly named boat that brings the young family to safety, is about rekindling hope, even after experiencing some of life's darkest moments.
