After the controversial annexation of Texas, the US Army marches south to provoke war with Mexico over the disputed Rio Grande boundary. Ximena Salomé is a gifted Mexican healer who dreams of building a family with the man she loves on the coveted land she calls home. But when Texas Rangers storm her ranch and shoot her husband dead, her dreams are burned to ashes. Vowing to honor her husband's memory and defend her country, Ximena uses her healing skills as an army nurse on the frontlines of the ravaging war. Meanwhile, John Riley, an Irish immigrant in the Yankee army desperate to help his family escape the famine devastating his homeland, is sickened by the unjust war and the unspeakable atrocities against his countrymen by nativist officers. In a bold act of defiance, he swims across the Rio Grande and joins the Mexican Army -- a desertion punishable by execution. He forms the St. Patrick's Battalion, a band of Irish soldiers willing to fight to the death for Mexico's freedom. When Ximena and John meet, a dangerous attraction blooms between them. As the war intensifies, so does their passion. Swept up by forces with the power to change history, they fight not only for the fate of a nation but for their future together. Heartbreaking and lyrical, Reyna Grande's spellbinding historical romance, inspired by true events, brings these two unforgettable characters to life and illuminates a largely forgotten moment in history that impacts the US-Mexico border to this day.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Fiction Grande   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Grande   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Keaau P/S Library Adult Fiction Grande Historical Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Fiction Grande   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Fiction Grande   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Adult Fiction Grande   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction Grande   Checked In Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Adult Fiction Grande   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Fiction Grande   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Fiction Grande   Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
