Loca, Si O No: Part one of the Norzona Quartet (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798439902842)

The Southwest of the US was till the mid-19th century territory of Mexico, so it is not surprising that its population today is still substantially people of Mexican origin. In perhaps the most scenic part of this beautiful region, the high country of contemporary Northern Arizona has often been built and preserved by its Mexican-Americans, whose native language Spanish lives on in its street signs, place names, and person and business appellations.
The first novel of Will Michelet's 'Norzona Quartet', Loca, Si 0 No, follows the Sandoval Family in the lovely town of Sheldon where Locaria and Fidencio bore and raised their fourteen children, most of whom still live there. Locaria's tumultuous marriage to her first and only love is not atypical of the struggles of many Norzona Mexicans, who with their signature food and emotional music have more than survived in their homeland, they have exulted in it.
See and feel in Loca as Locaria and her progeny find ways to celebrate four generations of their labor through familial love and conflict. In the process, the reader will come to more deeply appreciate the texture of this unique the corner of the world.
