Synopsis

A bold portrait of a group of teenage boys and girls whose tumultuous life in a small West Texas town full of prejudice, distrust, and discontent will surely ignite your interest in their adventurous escapades meant to end their acquiescent existence. With breath taking authenticity, here is a truly magnificent and unforgettable adventure ... a novel that will transport you into an era not long ago gone by ... a time when several astute Mexican teens confronted the naked reality of prcjudice, endeavoring to survive with human dignity and spirit under a suspect environment. They are caught up in a potentially devastating scandal that could literally tear apart the town of Marfa, Texas. These young people are worlds apart when they first intermingle, but that very essence is what makes the sparks fly and kindles the flames of interest, mystery, and discovery that draw them together. The Mexican boys intrude into the Anglo world. mostly surreptitiously, and more often than not, under the cover of darkness. They befriend the eager Anglo girls -!as gavachas - who offer them equality of sorts. understanding, love, and respect.
