Angelica’s world is crumbling. A promising attorney, she is fired
for her stand on an ethical issue involving immigration policies.
She returns home to discover her father is near bankruptcy. He
has poured all his available resources into a promising drug.
Will the FDA approval come through quickly enough? Her
mother’s health is failing from a mysterious, debilitating disease.
Her parents business needs and her mother’s help require
long absences. All would seem lost if it were not for Poppy, a
devout Greek house servant to her parents. His counsel had
been her mainstay since childhood. Angelica desires to become
a public defender much to the dismay of her parents. Tension
continues to mount as she shows more than a kind interest in
Antonio, a Mexican hired hand whose residence in the United
States comes under question.
Poor and with nothing to offer a senorita of distinction, Antonio
fails to believe his love for the beautiful Angelica can ever be
realized. She is kind to him, but is there more?
With beautiful description, the reader will feel at home in
Sonoma. The author has based this story on her own true life
experiences, giving the narrative an authentic ring.
