Inez: A Tale of the Alamo

The novel intertwines intimate domestic scenes and sweeping wartime drama centered on the siege of the Alamo. It opens in a boarding school and in family households to present young women formed by pride, duty, and faith, then moves into the gathering crisis that forces choices of loyalty and sacrifice. Relationships of kinship and courtship are tested by political violence as acts of courage, religious consolation, and tragic loss punctuate the narrative. Alternating between character-focused chapters and scenes of siege, the work examines honor, devotion, and the moral pressures that wartime exigency imposes on individuals and communities.
