A novel by Kendall Hoxsey
Can they find belonging, when grudges overshadow their hope?
Yountville, California 1882
Carmen Lidia Juarez grew up in her Mexican familia, but after her American mother abandoned her as a child, she has been unwanted by her father. He has held her responsible for her mother’s choices and is eager to have Carmen married and out from under his care. But when her abuelo shocks them all by naming Carmen, Patrona—head of the Juarez family—Carmen must decide if she will stay with her family and endure the dissension Abuelo’s announcement created, or find a way to escape and leave it all behind.
Captain Zachary Mason blames himself for the death of his best friend while they were in the Cavalry. His physical scars are nothing compared to the guilt he bears and the medals he was awarded that should never have been his. On a mission to establish a veteran’s home in Yountville, California for veterans of the Mexican-American War, Zach must navigate how to achieve his task and find forgiveness when the reminder of war heroes and long held grudges continue to chase him.
Can Carmen and Zach find that redemption is found in forgiveness, or will old and new resentments prove that a place to belong is merely a dream?
