Margarita Wednesdays: Making a New Life by the Mexican Sea

After fleeing Afghanistan, Deborah Rodriguez lands in California feeling utterly lost—a shadow of her fearless former self. Desperate for change, she makes a bold move: loading her cat into a Mini Cooper and heading to a quiet Mexican seaside town with nothing but determination and hope. Armed with zero Spanish skills and no safety net, she stumbles into an unexpected world of colorful characters, spontaneous adventures, and surprising romance. Through margaritas, mishaps, and newfound friendships, Rodriguez rediscovers her spark and builds a life entirely on her own terms. A witty, unflinching memoir about reinvention, resilience, and finding magic in the most unlikely places from the bestselling author of Kabul Beauty School.
