Nineteen-year-old Nayeli works at a taco shop in her Mexican
village and dreams about her father, who journeyed to the US when
she was young.Recently, it has dawned on her that he isn't the only
man who has left town. In fact, there are almost no men in the
village--they've all gone north. While watching "The Magnificent
Seven, "Nayeli decides to go north herself and recruit seven
men--her own "Siete Magnificos"--to repopulate her hometown and
protect it from the bandidos who plan on taking it over.
Filled with unforgettable characters and prose as radiant as the
Sinaloan sun, Into the Beautiful North is the story of an
irresistible young woman's quest to find herself on both sides of
the fence."
