Can you really know someone until you meet their family?
Juan Alvarez has met the love of his life in the most unlikely place -- at a lakeside grocery store where she's a clerk. She's beautiful, poised, and sought after. If Juan wants a chance with this girl, he'd better move fast.
Like him, Mercedes is a Mexican immigrant facing the same uphill battle in a tourist town in eastern Washington State. But their pasts couldn't be more different. Her Mexico City family is high society. His people have always worked the land. He won't marry without her father's approval, so they head back to Mexico, crafting a fictional version of their life, rather than reality. What Juan discovers about his bride, is just how much she's changed since she left her decidedly bizarre family.
Hilarious and charming, Meeting Mercedes is a highly relatable story about the nerve-wracking experience of meeting your future in-laws.
A short prequel to the fan-favorite Blue Hill Series: Summer at Orchard House, Promises at Indigo Bay, and The Long Walk Home.
A sweet introduction to how it all started for long-time fans and those new to Ellyn Oaksmith's effervescent series.
Genre: Romance
