Quick Review:
This is perfect read for any book group, but it is especially well suited to those in Southern California since the Spanglish shouldn’t give any reader here any problem. If you are familiar with the movie, The Magnificent Seven, you will probably enjoy this book even more since part of the story is loosely based on it. Check out the Reading Group Guide HERE

His website and posts are interesting. I had no idea he writes across so many genres. Many of them look really good, including The Hummingbird’s Daughter. No wonder he’s a perfect candidate for One Book San Diego!
Thanks!

This sounds like a very interesting story. I am a big fan of “The Magnificent Seven” and would enjoy reading Into the Beautiful North to see if I can catch all the similarities between the two. Thanks for the chance!
