Flirting In Spanish
Flirting in Spanish tells the extraordinary true love story between the 33-year old daughter of former [champion] NBA coach, Jack McKinney, and a poor Mexican teenager. When Susan McKinney moves into Carlos Ortega's lamina-roofed house in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, she finds herself not only sharing a room with her boyfriend, his brother and his sister, but struggling to find her place in another macho world - exactly what she had come to Mexico to escape.
