Budding opera singer Dallas Jones and her aunt, Eula, are touring Spain when they are involved in a car crash. When dashing, mysterious Rick Santana appears with offers of help, Dallas is instantly suspicious. With nowhere else to turn, she allows him to escort her to his luxury hotel, steeling herself against his Latin charms. As if one alluring Spaniard weren't enough, Dallas meets Maestro Miguel Rivera, the brilliant director of the Opera Company of Seville. To her surprise and delight, Miguel offers her a plum role in Don Giovanni. While rehearsing with the company, Dallas discovers that a thief has been stealing jewels from the opera's prima donna, Estela, who also has her eyes on Rick. Could this be the same thief who's robbed Rick's hotel? How will Dallas solve the mystery while withstanding Rick's relentless pursuit and Estela's haughty jealousy? Her Spanish serenade turns out to be the most complicated song she's ever sung!

Coming of Age with the Jesuits

"Coming of Age with the Jesuits" chronicles a young man's formative years from 1959 to 1968 studying on the undergraduate level at Rockhurst College in Kansas City, Missouri, and for the Ph.D. at Saint Louis University in St. Louis, Missouri. Between junior and senior year Curran had his first educational experience in Latin America studying at the National University of Mexico and traveling to Guatemala. This would lead to an increase in his love of languages and area studies and a future teaching career committed to the same at Arizona State University. The book is not an academic treatise on the Jesuits or their method of study, the "Ratio Studiorum," but rather a chronicle of the experiences in their schools by a young man introduced to Jesuit ways and discipline followed by serious study along with college fun and travel. Students from the 1960s will surely recall, relate to and enjoy similar moments in their own days with the Jesuits. The book chronicles as well the on-going process of growing up of a small town farm boy experiencing the big city, college, foreign travel and the next step of serious study with more precise career goals on the graduate level.
