Summary
Victor Villaseñor creates a powerful, moving protrait of his father's family - the Villaseñors - who in their courage and love of life represent the whole passionate history of Mexico. An epic portrait of Mexico is painted as this spellbinding story of madness and miracles, rage and redemption, unfolds.

Margarita...wild of heart and powerful in her earthborn mystery is the indomitable Indian matriarch who guards her family and conquers her enemies with the cutting edge of unconditional love - and a touch of magic. As a young woman, she was swept away by Juan Jesus Villaseñor, a powerful arrogant man who carried the blood of Spanish royalty in his veins - and who, unarmed, once wrestled with the great serpent that held his village hostage - and won.

Together, Don Juan and Dona Margarita would create a dynasty on the eve of the Mexican Revolution. Their daughters...Emilia and Luisa, beautiful, sensuous, mysterious, who find courage and endurance in their mother's faith, and searing, explosive passion amid the turmoil of war. Their sons...Jose, who becomes a legendary horseman and a hero of the revolution. And Juan, the youngest, Victor Villaseñor's father, through whose eyes this brilliant, tumultuous saga unfolds.

A magnificent book!!! Victor Villasenor weaves this incredible true story of his family so the reader not only feels like they are experiencing what is happening first hand, but leave one with a sense of awe for these strong and inspiring people. Family, tradition, injustice, courage are all found within these people. I can not say into words what a great book this is. The narration puts this book over the top.

As a fan of Victor Villasenor, I found this book as enjoyable to listen to as it was to read Reign of Gold. (And, 13 senses, which is my favorite of all his works). It is an intriguing story of family values, against adversity, unfairness, injustice while weaving it in with healthy doses of humor and wonder. The narration was incredible.
