Needing to escape from a painful family situation, college junior Matt Tucker jumps at a chance to lead horse rides at a Mexican Christian summer camp with his uncle. He isn't sure how he feels about God at the moment, but anything is better than watching his parents come apart. What he doesn't bargain for is teammates. As he shares his summer with an uncle who knows too many of his secrets, a guy who's grieving, a seminary student, and a girl who instantly dislikes him, he decides being home might not be so bad. But Matt is lost, and God wants him found, so he deals with everything from sick roommates to being lost in a foreign marketplace to getting stuck in Mayan ruins as he opens up to new friends and a new relationship with God. The hardest part of the summer, though, is that eventually it will be over, and he wonders how to take everything he's learned and fit it into his old life. Maybe God wants more from Matt than just one summer... Yucatan Cowboy is book two in the Boys of Summer series, books for teens and the young at heart.
