When ninety-year-old Bubbles receives a letter from Mexico City asking her to pick up her mother's ashes, she hatches a plan. Bubbles convinces her hippie daughter to accompany her on the quest. Alternating narratives weave together the two women's odyssey. In Mexico, where reality and magic co-exist, Bubbles increases her zest for life, lusting after strangers, taking risks, exulting in her youthful spirit.--Adapted from publisher's description.
