While her dear friends, Frank (Angela’s Ashes) and Ellen McCourt were visiting one weekend she proffered a draft for Frank to read. He encouraged her skill and sense of memory but, in his ironic Irish way, he said, “What the hell do you know about Mexican Politics? Write, for god sakes what you do know. Write a love story.” What the hell, indeed. So, she found her voice and wrote this love story.
