FROM THE PUBLISHER
Here, in an astonishing debut by a gifted storyteller, is the saga of proud and passionate men and women and the turbulent times through which they suffer and triumph. They are the Truebas. And theirs is a world you won't want to leave, and one you won't forget.
Esteban—The patriarch, a volatile and proud man whose lust for land is legendary and who is haunted by his tyrannical passion for the wife he can never completely possess.
Clara—The matriarch, elusive and mysterious, who foretells family tragedy and shapes the fortunes of the house of the Truebas.
Blanca—Their daughter, soft-spoken yet rebellious, whose shocking love for the son of her father's foreman fuels Esteban's everlasting contempt... even as it produces the grandchild he adores.
Alba—The fruit of Blanca's forbidden love, a luminous beauty, a fiery and willful woman... the family's break with the past and link to the future.

I read this awhile ago and forgot to journal, so I'm sorry I don't remember details. I do remember it was a bit different and very interesting. I've been trying to decide if I want to watch the movie or not.
CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES: Mailed to someone who has it on her wishlist. Enjoy!
What a nice surprise. Now, if I could just find more hours in the day so that I could read all these wonderful books.
MY TBR pile is about to topple over - I need to move some books along. Enjoy!

Chosen from the ABC Book Box. Thanks for including it.
Excellent book. Had to concentrate, not an easy read. Sometimes had to go back and reread a chapter because I felt like I missed something.
Giving to a friend at work who loves this author. She'll continue it on it's journey.
Off it goes!
