Meanwhile, a young girl named Ronda challenges her worldviews through an unexpected connection with Nandria. When Ronda goes missing, the community must come together, risking everything to find her.
“I read it in three sittings and was reluctant to put it down when something needed attending. You brought a whole community to life…I especially loved that you portrayed women’s strength–emotional strength, physical strength, the strength of determination, perseverance, and social wisdom…I can feel that as a writer, you were immersed in the world of your characters and the time.”
— A. Stackpole-Cuellar
