Sisters Candy Wagner and Sandra Marquez are sixth-generation Texans who trace their ancestry back to John Coker, a scout in the Battle of San Jacinto, and to the German pioneers who first settled New Braunfels.

Review:

"The best way to describe it is simply to say, try it, because you’ll find all sorts of riches. This is an imaginative concept, extremely well realized." (Southwest Review)
