2004 RITA Finalist for a Novel with
Strong Romantic Elements
SummaryIn the sun-baked hills of New Mexico, Luna McGraw has lived
a lifetime of regrets, struggling to conquer the demons
that destroyed her marriage and caused her to lose custody
of her beloved daughter. But as Luna fights to rebuild a
relationship with the troubled teenager, she remains
haunted by images of her own childhood and the father she
barely knew.
Strong and resilient as the houses he builds, Thomas Coyote
comes into Luna's life one extraordinary night when his
grandmother nearly dies while conjuring a fiery brew of
spiritual enchantment. Luna does not need a man— especially
one with a needy ex-wife—to complicate her fragile dreams
of the future. Their attraction pushes them both beyond
reason into a place where there is only possibility. Yet it
will take more than passion to recover the tattered pieces
of Luna's soul, more than time to forgive the sins of an
offending husband, and more than promises to mend the
broken heart of a child.
