The Jade Notebook (41 page)
Authors: Laura Resau
Although the locations in the book are real, I took some liberties with details of the landscape and building layout to fit the needs of the fictional story line. If you do visit Mazunte one day, have fun (it’s one of my favorite vacation spots), but don’t be surprised at the tweaking I did!
