Book description
Hailed by Booklist as “two talented authors who vividly bring to life
the beauty of New Mexico and its people,” Sue Boggio and Mare Pearl
return in A Growing Season to Esperanza, New Mexico, the setting of
their first book, Sunlight and Shadow. Esperanza is a community at the
crossroads where a devastating drought threatens the farming
community's very survival. Vultures circle in the form of developers
who see failing farms as ripe pickings for a bedroom community for
Albuquerque. Court battles pit the endangered silvery minnow against
the farmers as the once mighty Rio Grande shrinks from its banks even
as demand for its precious water increases.
Sue Boggio and Mare Pearl grew up
together in Iowa and have both worked in health care in New Mexico.
Sue Boggio lives in Albuquerque. Mare Pearl lives in Bosque Farms, New Mexico.
