Odessa, Texas, 1976: A young Mexican girl, badly injured and clinging to life, arrives on the front porch of Mary Rose Whitehead's ranch house, having been brutally attacked in the surrounding oil fields. So begins this harrowing, suspenseful, insightful, and tender novel. Narrated by five women from different walks of life, this feminine take on a modern Western is beautifully written and profoundly thought-provoking. Perfect book club fare!
