In K. M. Vittetoe’s breakout novel, Luisa copes with single motherhood when tragedy strikes. Luisa strives to reform her life while dealing with the secrets and addictions of her parents’ past. Circumstances create a unique bond between Luisa and Warren, an older, reclusive neighbor. This episodic novel weaves three stories together: Luisa’s tragic present, Warren’s abusive past, and the heart-wrenching love story of Luisa’s parents, Reeve, a Texas rancher’s daughter, and Aurelio, a Mexican immigrant. Dreams, broken and fulfilled, connect the characters on a journey that begins in Denver and leads them toward the Mexican border.
