The Awakening: A Novel of Intrigue, Seduction, and Redemption

Description

A captivating novel that tells the story of the rise and fall, the passions, and the heartbreak of a Spanish family from the Spanish Civil War until the 1990s. The Awakening begins with the childhood of Diego Garcia, who spends his days barefoot among olive trees, harboring a forbidden passion for a beautiful local girl until his world is forever changed on the war-torn streets of 1936 Granada. Decades later, Diego Garcia is now the gentle patriarch in a sun-scorched village perched among the rolling hills and olive groves of Andalusia, Spain. Diego survived the bloody Spanish Civil War only at great cost, and his enduring wish is that he could have saved others. His granddaughter, the lovely Lupita, is the town’s physician, whose competence is surpassed only by her compassion. Together they breathe new life into a mysterious American stranger, brutally beaten and robbed, and suffering from amnesia, whose past is so scarred by his own malice and deceit that he dare not awaken–save through the guiding grace of love. Together, the three forge a new beginning and find redemption in trust, love, and acceptance of the past . . . a past they would do anything to leave behind. —- ISBN: 9781631580093
