2014 WILLA Award winner, Contemporary Fiction Tony Hillerman Award for Best Fiction, New Mexico-Arizona Book Awards Silver Medal, 2014 IPPY Book Awards Southwest Books of the Year "Good Read" New York school teacher Charlotte Lambert is practical and predictable, and never allows life to veer off course. Until she comes to New Mexico. During one summer in Agua Dulce, a village haunted by a phantom herd of wild horses and where ravens embody the spirits of ancestors, Charlotte s world is upended as she unearths the details of her mother s forbidden love affair, chilling murder, and courageous last act of redemption. Pursued by a madman hell-bent on killing her, Charlotte finds shelter, romance, and her own misplaced soul at the desert camp of a surprisingly sophisticated cowboy, and learns how love in its myriad forms is the only path to lasting salvation.
