The Cyrenian

A combination of adventure, history, suspense, and romance are combined in this literary novel. While the major characters in this historical novel are fictional, the facts are accurate, reflecting the Hispanic population of northern New Mexico Territory in the 1890s with its rich culture and language-and also touching on the Native American culture. The historical context embraces contemporary issues. The theme that faith and love can overcome evil by those who persist in seeking that which is true and good is evident in this novel.
