Kelly and her four best friends refuse to sit down in their rocking chairs to nod off in retirement. They want nothing more than to peacefully live in a small Texas town and enjoy their grandchildren. They courageously face the challenges of Alzheimer's and widowhood, while still finding fun and humor through their lifetime friendships and family. But, their cozy world is shattered when they come face to face with pure evil. Reminded of their heritage of freedom fighters, they are determined to change the status quo. They reject the idea that we're trapped and doomed to repeat the same old cycle of struggles. However, when confronted with a sinister shadow world, they become the target of a corrupt gang of sex traffickers.

Grampa Hank promised the ranch would be Lovie’s someday but her dream of inheriting the multigenerational Texas ranch is turning into a nightmare. First Granny died, then Grampa Hank was killed in a horseback accident and now the “death tax” is poised to take a fatal bite out of the ranch. Lovie is furious with her mother for selling Grampa Hank’s horses and cattle to pay inheritance taxes and her anger has attracted El Lobo who turns up in the middle of every ranch tragedy. Join Lovie, along with Big Foot, Brownie, Cotton, Dingo and Fireball, as they are drawn into the dream Granny never realized in life, where past inhabitants of the ranch are still determining its future—and Lovie’s survival.

Karankawa is a collection that explores some of the ways in which we (re)construct our personal histories. Rich in family narratives, myths, and creation stories, these are poems that investigate passage—dying, coming out, transforming, being born—as well as the gaps that also reside in our stories, for, as Rocha suggests, the opportunity to create myths is provided by great silences. Much like the Karankawa Indians whose history works in omissions, Karankawa reconfigures such spaces, engaging with the burden and freedom of memory in order to rework and recontextualize private and public mythologies. First and last, these are poems that honor our griefs and desires, for they keep alive the very things we cannot possess.
