DOWNLOAD EBOOKRunner-up, Best Popular Fiction in English, Latino Book Awards Competition, 2010 The golondrina is a small and undistinguished swallow. But in Spanish, the word has evoked a thousand poems and songs dedicated to the migrant's departure and hoped-for return. As such, the migrant becomes like the swallow, a dream-seeker whose real home is nowhere, everywhere, and especially in the heart of the person left behind. The swallow in this story is Amada García, a young Mexican woman in a brutal marriage, who makes a heart-wrenching decision—to leave her young daughter behind in Mexico as she escapes to el Norte searching for love, which she believes must reside in the country of freedom. However, she falls in love with the man who brings her to the Texas border, and the memories of those three passionate days forever sustain and define her journey in Texas. She meets and marries Lázaro Mistral, who is on his own journey—to reclaim the land his family lost after the U.S.-Mexican War. Their opposing narratives about love and war become the legacy of their first-born daughter, Lucero, who must reconcile their stories into her struggle to find "home," as her mother, Amada, finally discovers the country where love beats its infinite wings. Bárbara Renaud González, a native-born Tejana and acclaimed journalist, has written a lyrical story of land, love, and loss, bringing us the first novel of a working-class Tejano family set in the cruelest beauty of the Texas panhandle. Her story exposes the brutality, tragedy, and hope of her homeland and helps to fill a dearth of scholarly and literary works on Mexican and Mexican American women in post–World War II Texas.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn the year 2047, Mitchell Hughes, a visually impaired divorced schoolteacher with two young children, is on trial for murder. The only eyewitness to the murder is a poly-gig micro-tronic computer chip implanted deep within the brain of every United States citizen. This computerized chip implant is known as the DuoDrite. The DuoDrite chip implant is engineered as the first transmitter and receiver for communications and entertainment, replacing personal computers, global positioning systems, cellular telephones, and home entertainment devices. The DuoDrite technology is the sole interface to the Internet and is simply accessed by thought and visualization in the mind's eye. Since the DuoDrite chip implant's first conception in 2015, government agencies, such as the Department of Homeland Security, discovered its uses as a measure to protect national security. The Memory Data File, or MDF, is the primary tool used by law enforcement. Once a crime is committed, the DuoDrite chip immediately transfers the MDF of the crime to the appropriate law enforcement agency. Mitchell Hughes is accused by his very own MDF of a capital crime. It is up to Mitchell's defense attorney, Claire Evans, a woman secretly in love with her client, to save him from the clutches of a diabolical conspiracy. Mitchell Hughes discovers that he is cursed with a defect in his DuoDrite chip implant. Will Mitchell be able to overcome the defect and use the technology that he has denounced for his own preservation?
