The Gila River

The Gila River flows gently through the parched Sonoran Desert and along its banks fierce Apaches, Pima farmers, Spaniards and brash Americans all vie for control in a harsh and unforgiving land: Miguel Santana a young Spaniard abandoned by his comrades; his Pima son Vitorio; Jacova, a woman whose indomitable spirit tamed a mighty Apache warrior; and the "man of three bloods," belonging to all, and to none. On the banks of the Gila their lives all came together in love and in war as the great river carried them forward toward an uncertain future.
