Smallest Wave

"Powerful and evocative"

Chris Riches, Daily Express

There is fierceness in the smallest wave.

Born in Mendoza, Argentina, Dolores Reynals began life fighting-baptised twice before her first month when doctors assumed she wouldn't survive. Growing up in a large family, she learned early to question rules, challenge expectations, and follow her own curiosity.

But at age twelve, a family celebration ignites a question that will haunt Dolores for decades: what does it mean to be a woman?

In pursuit of answers, Dolores leaves home at eighteen and travels across Europe, chasing independence and adventure. From theatre studies in London and Buenos Aires to radio, stage, and a love that burns bright for a while, Dolores carves her own path against pressure and convention.

But unbeknownst to her, a global storm is brewing-a forced detour that sends Dolores to Tulum, Mexico, and a version of home she never expected: a place, a life, and a self fully her own.

The Smallest Wave is a memoir of resilience, rebellion, and the courage to live fully, freely, and on your own terms.
