Arroyo -- A blues singer with a buried voice and flame-red hair, Willie Lee moves to a dusty New Mexico mining town to escape her past. There, her dreams and passions mingle with those of the townspeople, especially Chavela, a woman who makes her realize that sometimes love chooses us. Then, just as Willie Lee finds her singing voice again, an accident threatens the town with disaster. Written with a cinematic eye and a penetrating lyrical power, Arroyo introduces the most distinctive Southwestern voice since Barbara Kingsolver.

Summer Wood lives in the mountains of northern New Mexico, where she designs and builds small, beautiful houses. This is her first novel.
