When Fahey, once a great surfer, now a reclusive ex-con, meets Magdalena, she is running from a pack of wild dogs along the ragged wasteland where California and Mexico meet the Pacific Ocean - a spot once known to the men who rode its giant waves as the Tijuana Straits. Magdalena has barely survived an attack on her life and Fahey, against his every instinct, takes her in.

An environmental activist, Magdalena is engaged in the struggle for the rights of the thousands of peasants streaming from Mexico's impoverished heartland to work in the maquilladoras - the foreign-owned factories that line her country's border, polluting its air and fouling its rivers. She is passionate about her work, and perhaps has taken too many risks with her own safety.

My husband is a surfer from a Chula Vista and loves this story. I am from NYC and love it, too. We’ve been to Border Park and you cannot even imagine what it is like! Families on the USA side having picnics with their families on the Mexican side. Incredible

So great!

I love Kem Numm's characters, they are so real, so obsessed. This one starts a bit slow but soon becomes a nail biting story that's hard to put down. Loved it.

Brutal, sad but at the same time, heartwarming
