"With elegant prose and an artist's eye for detail, Mayo
may just have written one of the best books ever
about Baja California. Highly recommended"
Library Journal

"Ay, if only I had been at C.M. Mayo's side in her rendezvous through
Baja California... My recourse is her joyful, intellectually sparkling chronicle"
Ilan Stavans,
author of The Hispanic Condition

"A beguiling picture of an exasperating place 'where nothing is as it seems,'
a place both 'touched with evil' and blessed with beauty and hope...
a stunning portrait of Baja California"
Sara Mansfield Taber,
author of Dusk on the Campo

"C.M. Mayo uses a reporter's instincts, an artist's eye, and a deft literary touch to create visions of Baja California to delight those who know it best and offers a knowing introduction to others who resort to the pleasures of these pages. A sensitive and knowing over-view of a place and a people so near and yet so far from the U.S. or Mexico."
Harry W. Crosby,
author of Antigua California
