Raquel

Mada and Raquel first appeared in the book, MADA. RAQUEL returns to them about twenty years later, beautiful, still very much in love in a relationship that has grown and matured as they prepare for a new phase in their life together. And then the unexpected happens. How do you go on after losing the woman who was the love of your life? Raquel flees from California to the mountains of the Sierra Madre in Mexico looking for something that will make her heart beat again, and if she finds it, can she let it in? This book is sheer poetry. Filled with fire, passion, grief, and a gentleness that brings tears to me. –Cooper Gallegos, Author of The Waterhauler: A Desert Story, and Walking lessons for the Elderly.
