Nancy R Asencio

The Five Gringas Nancy R Asencio

For five American women associated with the US Embassy in Mexico, camaraderie begins with coffee, chocolate, and art shared in painting sessions during the early 1960's, and kept alive for decades via occasional rendezvous worldwide. In a story of love, family, heartbreak, mystery, betrayal, espionage, and grace in the face of tragedy, Nancy's touching novel brings to life these multi-dimensional characters as they navigate the stiff dictates of diplomatic protocol, and the tumultuous events of the late 20th Century.
