Notes

Description
"Solitario Cisneros creía que su vida hacía tiempo que había terminado. Perdió a su esposa, su familia, e inclusive a su país hacia finales de la década de 1870 cuando el Rio Grande cambió su curso dejando al pueblo mexicano de Olvido del lado tejano de la frontera. Había hecho las paces, si bien a regañadientes, con el hecho de tener que abandonar su pistola y su insignia, y retirarse a su rancho a convivir con caballos y fantasmas. Pero cuando una ristra de asesinatos y secuestros hace estragos en el pueblo, llevando a su mezcla volátil de pobladores anglosajones, apaches y mexicanos al borde de la auto-destrucción, se ve forzado a enfrentar de nuevo la vida, y la muy probable posibilidad de la muerte. A medida que Solitario lucha por superar no solamente las fuerzas malignas que amenazan al pueblo, sino además sus demonios internos, se encuentra con una improbable fuente de inspiración y apoyo en Onawa, una talentosa y encantadora vidente apache-mexicana que defiende su causa y lo reta a abrir su corazón y cuestionar su destino. A medida que seguimos a Solitario y Onawa hacia el desierto, junto a ellos enfrentamos cuestionamientos tan relevantes en la actualidad como lo eran entonces: Seremos capaces de rehacer nuestra historia y dar forma a nuestro propio futuro? Que significa pertenecer a un lugar, o que un lugar pertenezca a un pueblo? Y, sin importar cuan derrotados o desolados pudiésemos sentirnos, ¿estamos realmente solos alguna vez? A través de un examen de conciencia expresado en una prosa luminosa, Rudy Ruiz transporta a los lectores hasta una época lejana y un sitio remoto donde las fuerzas inmortales del bien y del mal danzan entre las sombras de la magia y las montañas."
Description
"Solitario Cisneros thought his life was over long ago. He lost his wife, his family, even his country in the late 1870s when the Rio Grande shifted course, stranding the Mexican town of Olvido on the Texas side of the border. He'd made his brooding peace with retiring his gun and badge, hiding out on his ranch, and communing with horses and ghosts. But when a gruesome string of murders and kidnappings ravages the town, pushing its volatile mix of Anglo, Mexican, and Apache settlers to the brink of self-destruction, he feels reluctantly compelled to confront both life, and the much more likely possibility of­ ­death, yet again. As Solitario struggles to overcome not only the evil forces that threaten the town but also his own inner demons, he finds an unlikely source of inspiration and support in Onawa, a gifted and enchanting Apache-Mexican seer who champions his cause, daring him to open his heart and question his destiny. As we follow Solitario and Onawa into the desert, we join them in facing haunting questions about the human condition that are as relevant today as they were back then: Can we rewrite our own history and shape our own future? What does it mean to belong to a place, or for a place to belong to a people? And, as lonely and defeated as we might feel, are we ever truly alone? Through luminous prose and soul-searching reflections, Rudy Ruiz transports readers to a distant time and a remote place where the immortal forces of good and evil dance amidst the shadows of magic and mountains."--Amazon.com.
