The House on Carnaval Street

Forced to flee Kabul after threats to her family, Deborah Rodriguez abandons her thriving beauty salon and beloved coffee shop for an unexpected fresh start. At forty-nine, she trades California's mountain isolation for a humble seaside cottage in Mexico, armed with determination, her cat Polly, and a Mini Cooper packed with hope. Navigating Spanish lessons, unconventional friendships, and the vibrant chaos of her new town, Deborah discovers that sometimes losing everything is exactly what you need to find yourself. A spirited memoir about reinvention, resilience, and reclaiming your life on your own terms from the bestselling author of The Little Coffee Shop of Kabul.
