  <default_description>Two Canadian sisters inherit beachfront property in Mexico and take off on an adventure to claim their inheritance. They travel opulently by cruise ship to Ensenada and survive a rocky trip through Baja California, only to be shocked when they arrive in San Felipe. Their beachfront property is, indeed, on the beach, but the &#8220;structure&#8221; is a cement slab and the Airstream trailer their uncle parked on the property in the early 1960s! With the help of a few locals, the Canadian cuties figure out what to do with their less-than-desirable legacy. The true gift, they find, is that they are reconnected as sisters and discover that everything that happened along the way was part of God&amp;rsquo;s plan. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Say Ol&#233; the Sisterchick Way ! &lt;/i&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;SISTERCHICK TM &lt;i&gt;n.&lt;/i&gt;: a friend who shares the deepest wonders of your heart, loves you like a sister, and provides a reality check when you&amp;rsquo;re being a brat.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Canadian sisters Melanie and Joanne are stunned to hear they&amp;rsquo;ve inherited their uncle&amp;rsquo;s beachfront summerhouse in Mexico. With a snap, a trip is planned: They&amp;rsquo;ll travel opulently by cruise ship to Ensenada, zip over to San Felipe, sign a few papers at the bank, and the tropical hideaway will be theirs.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What they don&amp;rsquo;t expect is a spa treatment gone loco, snails and cactus on their dinner plates, risky ocean dips, a cross-country desert drive, a dishy doctor, or a Federale who doesn&amp;rsquo;t speak English! Fortunately, some problems really can be solved with coconut cake and, if necessary, a water fight. The beachfront property&#8212;and what it takes to get them there&#8212;becomes a gift beyond their wildest wishes as these Sisterchicks relinquish themselves to the dreams God has for them...all under the sombrero of His grace. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Story Behind the Book&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;A year ago in July, an associate from my publishing house walked up to my friend and I and said, &#8220;You need to go on a cruise.&#8221; She grinned and told us that she had a cruise package she couldn&amp;rsquo;t use and it would be her delight to see my editor and me go to Mexico&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;on a Sisterchick adventure. After we got over the shock, we gratefully made arrangements to go cruisin&amp;rsquo; in December. What a time we had! Was it research or was it recharging of our creative efforts? Both! The result is the third Sisterchicks novel, Sisterchicks in Sombreros! I love it when God does His God things. His eye is on the sparrow, or in this case, Robin and her Sisterchick friend! &lt;/b&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I read this just because I was on vacation Mexico myself and could relate on that level.  I didn't care for the author's style of writing too much: it was kind of a boring travel log instead of an engaging story for me. But the author is Christian and had some interesting insights and analogies to o...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/20795621">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Unfortunately, this book wasn't as good as the first two, which is disappointing since I really liked &quot;Sisterchicks do the Hula.&quot;  Maybe the characters/situation is getting a little old...two sisterchicks find themselves leaving their husbands/children to take an unexpected vacation where ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/28200107">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Since I'm in need of a good read for the summer why not pick a great author Robin Jones Gunn.  I envy all her vacations but I can say I've been to Hawaii and stayed for 3 years courtesy of the USAF and my then new husband.  Robin gets the message out and it always speaks to my heart.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Cute book.  It really captured the cruise experience.  It's a little too predictable, but light, funny, Christian reading.  I loved the way the sisters related to each other - very realistic.  The Rosa Lupe character was convicting - how she could have so little and give so much.  ]]></body>
