The young adult story of a girl who travels to Mexico with her family on a Christmas-time vacation (which appears to be set sometime around the turn of the century). Daisy, an awkward dreamer, through her encounters in this new, vivid environment and with the Mexican culture, grows into a more confident explorer.
