Summary: | "' ... Like everything else in the state of New Mexico, the land first belonged to the Indians, ' So states the narrator of Leonor Park, a novel about land and greed in the American West. Unlike the stereotypical western story set in the 19th centurywith white man versus Indian or cattleman versus sodbuster, Leonor Park takes place during Prohibition. A powerful woman battles with her ne'er-do-well brother over their father's legacy, whcih includes land alongside the Rio Grande. The history of this land and of its people is a story of greed, intrigue, and skullduggery. It takes place against a background of Chicana flappers and Chicano sheiks, bootleggers and speakeasiers, in a pueblo rousing from small-town life to become a modern city"--Back cover
