Book Synopsis
After years of working with at-risk youth, Chicana social worker Rosa Medina leaves Los Angeles's gang-ridden barrios and street violence to settle in the New Mexican village of Puerto de Luna. Her goal: to write a novel about Bilito - Billy the Kid. It all sounds straightforward enough, but things get more complicated - and a lot more exciting.

Trade Review
Rudolfo Anaya's satirical use of the ChupaCabra monster and the Lincoln County War to address and critique politics and social justice in New Mexico is absolutely imaginative. Anaya's fans, students of Chicano literature and Southwest studies, and those hungry for a different perspective - the Hispano-Nuevomexicano perspective - on Billy the Kid will find this book an innovation."" - Enrique R. Lamadrid, author of Amadito and the Hero Children and Juan the Bear and the Water of Life
