About This Book
A spirited young woman from Chicago defies family expectations and sets out for a rough mining region in Mexico, where she becomes entangled with local characters, including a loner named Marc Scott, a driver called Mendoza, and the brother whose position at a mine motivates her journey. The narrative follows journeys across mesas and desert trails, encounters at ranches and small towns, a brief imprisonment and its aftermath, and a search that yields an unexpected treasure, mingling adventure, peril, and the beginnings of personal and romantic change.
