Except for being the only man in town who had never set foot in either of its brothels, Wade Kendall couldn't be more ordinary. A retired life-insurance salesman, father of two grown sons, and former full-time caregiver to his wife, who died of cancer just 8 months earlier, Wade now finds himself alone, unable to tread water. In fact, it's sink or swim, and he's got no idea which way to shore. As he attempts to connect to his new life and reconnect with his adult sons, Wade finds himself drawn to a most unlikely source of hope-the pink neon lights of the legendary Lil' Mamacitas. But what Wade finds within the dim, hazy interior of the brothel isn't at all what he could have imagined, and for Wade and all who join him, nothing will ever be the same
