Danni will always be a city girl. But when she gets tired of the city she used to love once, her friend Ami invites her to stay with her.

Frightened by her feelings for Jeremiah, she is torn between telling him the truth or running away from him again. What will happen when Jeremiah learns the truth from the one woman he has ever fallen head over heels for? Will he forgive her or will his attraction to her become tainted? Will their love be strong enough to conquer all? This short story book contains language, situations or images for mature audiences.

Thirteen Australian women have composed an atypical collection of travel writings which cover a period of more than 50 years. Some visited Mexico several times for work and/or pleasure; some visited by chance and chose to remain; some returned to stay after a long absence, pulled back by something Mexican which they certainly feel strongly. Not all their experiences are pleasant, but the outcome is almost inevitably life affirming. Discover a different Mexico through the words - reminiscences, letters and poems - and images of these Australian women. Prose and poetry.
