*Condition Note: Book is good condition and clean. *

Pablo loved Julie more than life, yet what right had he to love her at all? Her family had expectations, and she was engaged to a man who could give her the world. But what did he himself have to offer? His people were outcasts, he lived in poverty, the desert was his home.

Yet here she was, turning her back on her lavish life, longing for the only things he possessed--honesty, simplicity, joy, self-respect, and freedom to make his own choices. She was falling in love with the ways of the desert and the warmth of his people--and he knew she already loved him. All he had to do was say yes. If only he loved her less, it would be so easy to let her stay.

Louise Kohr has written a beautiful, unconventional love story. Told in rich, lyrical language that brings us into the mind and heart of the Yaqui Indian, this compelling book invites us to contemplate the simple truths that shape our lives.
