“Never has it been more aptly presented than in this engaging novel that love can take us all on unexpected journeys—often when we least expect it. Here is a story that is part mystery, part meditation, part romance, part imperative. It is presented from different points of view: cake-baking Mona, mistress of a boarding house, for whom a long-ago act of love for a friend leads to a complicated romance. Mona's teenage daughter, Oneida, whose tentative forays into love bring her far more than she anticipated. And Arthur, a man widowed too soon, on a path that will lead him to understand who his young wife really was. Kate Racculia has a strong and original voice, and a lot to say about the chances we take—or miss.”—Elizabeth Berg, author of The Last Time I Saw You

Luis Alberto Urrea, author of the Lonesome Dove-like saga of Mexico The Hummingbird's Daughter (Hachette, $14.99 paperback, 2006) which is a fabulous big sweeping novel, returns with a modern tale of the intrepid women who rescue their tiny Mexican village by employing The Magnificent Seven tactics--look for seven good men to defend the village. Their quest takes them over the US/Mexican border and into the beautiful north. Added attraction: a joyful and surprisingly funny look at Mexican border politics and life.
