Now she returns to the eastern plains of Colorado, full of raw rage at herself and at the universe, yearning for the life she never lead and the daughter she left behind. As a levantona who has been running drugs and illegal immigrants once they're beyond the US-Mexico border, she's knowingly and even defiantly entered into a harsh and dangerous world. But suddenly her world has become darker than she can bear: The largest wildfire in Colorado history is blazing. Immigrants are dead. She's haunted by the memory of a Mexican woman she couldn't save and a lost Mexican girl she did. Traffickers - of both immigrants and drugs - are now hunting her down. But most of all, Tess is at the mercy of her own traumatized soul, and the weight of it is cracking her apart. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the act of coming home, Tess must now face her dying mother, her sister, and her daughter, and most importantly, herself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book broaches timely topics essential in the West--immigration, rural poverty, wildfires--with suspense and gritty wisdom as well\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLaura Pritchett\u003c\/b\u003e is the acclaimed author of \u003ci\u003eStars Go Blue, Red Lightning, Hell's Bottom, Colorado\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eSky Bridge\u003c\/i\u003e as well as several books of nonfiction.
