Product Description

The eagerly awaited second novel by award-winning author Catherine M. OConnor, Heart of the Owl, is set during Prohibition and the Great Depression in El Paso, and weaves together the narratives of Antonia ORourke and her son Francisco. Fleeing an abusive relationship, Antonia seeks dignity, stability, and a lost love, Franciscos real father. Francisco, knowing nothing of his real father, struggles to come of age without an understanding of who he is, much less any possibilities for his future. On the run and strapped for cash, Antonia and Francisco hole up in seedy Hotel Luna. Desperate to support her son and herself, Antonia joins a cross-border tequila smuggling operation, at great personal cost. Unaware of his mothers plight, Francisco thrives in their new environment, tapping into a mystical relationship with a great horned owl and forging unexpected friendships with two hotel employees: scheming, superstitious Loretta and Sam, a hardworking Chinese janitor. When Lorettas affection for Francisco deepens as their friendship grows and she realizes that her double-dealing has put Antonia and Francisco in peril, she and Sam risk everything to hide the pair deep in the Chihuahuan desert, where the two face down life-threatening dangers and experience a stunning revelation that transforms their lives forever.
