When Gil Castle loses his wife, he retreats to his family’s sprawling homestead out west, a forsaken part of the country where drug lords have more power than police. Here Castle begins to rebuild his life, even as he uncovers some dark truths about his fearsome grandfather. When a Mexican illegal shows up at the ranch, terrified after a border-crossing drug deal gone bad, Castle agrees to take him in. Yet his act of generosity sets off a flood of violence and vengeance, a fierce reminder that we never truly escape our history. Spanning three generations of an Arizona family, Crossers is a blistering novel about the brutality and beauty of life on the border.

hastings (verified owner) –
but, I thought the plot was predicatable as well as the romance. It seemed like a set up. The prose lingered at times, but for the most part was well done. The characters hold the piece together. I believe Gil’s interaction with Tessa was nice, but we could see that coming from a mile away. I liked the back and forth with the family history, even though I got confused at times with who was who. Blaine reminds me of my brother! The family dynamics are realistic.
With today’s immigration situation this novel is a little late, but worth the read.
