Luisa Murillo wants a better life. Married at fourteen and a mother of two children she birthed on the dirt floor of her husband's shack, she dreams.

GUADALAJARA,, JA, MEXICO, November 30, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Guy Bonnivier’s San Juanico: San Juanico: A Novel of Baja California Sur chronicles the lives of relatable characters as they face the trials of their humanity and fight for
their survival in the Baja desert. Guy Bonnivier’s work will be one of the featured books in the upcoming Guadalajara International Book Fair in Jalisco, Mexico.

In a poverty-stricken remote village in San Juanico, Mexico, Luisa and Pedro dream of a better life as they welcome their first child. The barrenness and isolation of the Baja Peninsula gave rise to the need for Juan Pedro to head out to a faraway city of Insurgentes. But when small-time politicians and drug runners with their aim of opening Baja to the world for their personal gain and agenda, San Juanico suddenly finds itself on the precipice of a drastic change that might place
its inhabitants on the darker side of modernity.

While working for the U.S. Forest Service in Arizona in the 1970s, Guy Bonnivier was repairing a pipe on a dry 10,000-gallon metal stock tank in the Sonoran Desert. Curious, he climbed inside and dug out the remains of dozens of hawks, falcons, owls, and other birds from the deep sediment in the tank bottom. He was so disturbed by the drowned birds he found his writing voice for the first time, authoring articles for ‘Defenders of Wildlife’ about the need for escape ramps in the thousands of stock water tanks across the vast, arid American West.

Guy Bonnivier lived seasonally in a lonely palapa on the Sea of Cortez for twenty years, close to the unique people and the land. He attempts to capture the essence of that time and place in his debut novel.
