    <![CDATA[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 “structure” 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&rsquo;s plan. <br/><br/><em>Say Olé the Sisterchick Way ! </em> <br/><br/>SISTERCHICK TM <em>n.</em>: a friend who shares the deepest wonders of your heart, loves you like a sister, and provides a reality check when you&rsquo;re being a brat.  <br/><br/>Canadian sisters Melanie and Joanne are stunned to hear they&rsquo;ve inherited their uncle&rsquo;s beachfront summerhouse in Mexico. With a snap, a trip is planned: They&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.  <br/><br/>What they don&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&rsquo;t speak English! Fortunately, some problems really can be solved with coconut cake and, if necessary, a water fight. The beachfront property—and what it takes to get them there—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. <br/><br/><strong>Story Behind the Book</strong><br/><br/><strong>A year ago in July, an associate from my publishing house walked up to my friend and I and said, “You need to go on a cruise.” She grinned and told us that she had a cruise package she couldn&rsquo;t use and it would be her delight to see my editor and me go to Mexico</strong> <strong>on a Sisterchick adventure. After we got over the shock, we gratefully made arrangements to go cruisin&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! </strong>]]>
