“What a story you invite us into! What multilayered characters—Leana and Benjamin, Gabe and Raul. What a world of color and sensuality, passion and intellect. Also idealism and tragedy. A work of great power.” —Philip B. Kunhardt III, author of "Looking For Lincoln: The Making of an American Icon"

“Framed by dramatic sociopolitical upheaval, this captivating story of family and friendship brims with heartache, secrets, and most of all, love." —Laura Resau, author of the Oaxaca-based "What the Moon Saw," and some 12 more books for adults and youngers

"Brooding" follows Lena returning to Oaxaca in 2006, decades after she spent a transformational high school year there. Briefly, it's about friendship, motherhood, empty nesting, GMO corn, struggles of farmers and teachers, secrets, forgiveness, politics - and, just maybe, romance.

Some reader comments follow “Lucious . Brilliant. A perfect weaving of motherhood, precolonial history, and the politics of education in Mexico. I didn’t want it to end.“ —Etta Kralovec, Ed.D, Founding Director of the Borderlands Education Center
