"Set in the south of Mexico, this is the realistic, colorful story of one child's rough road into the modern world. Surviving in a big city is a tall order if you've never seen one before, and you're only about six years old and all alone. But survival is Utuyu's challenge when he comes out of The Mountains to the North, where the people don't even speak Spanish, and finds himself in the bustling city of Oaxaca. His adventures make a tale of determination, courage and resourcefulness as Utuyu learns to cope with feelings all children share."--Taken from rear cover

Susan Carter has her hands full raising twins and running the Galilee Women’s Shelter—she doesn’t need darkly handsome pastor Gabriel Dawson complicating her life. But she can’t avoid him, not after she opens his eyes to the plight of the battered women in his parish, whose drug-addicted men are connected to the Venezuelan cartel La Mano Oscura and the Diablo crime syndicate. Spending time with Gabriel, when he’s her auctioned “date” and again with her daughters, shows Susan both the gentleness and protectiveness of the former marine. And once Susan’s daughters decide that they want Gabriel as their new daddy, what else is there for a man of God to do...but become a family man?
