Now a licensing board wants to know what else she got wrong, and the last thing she can afford is another crossed line. Then a new patient, a woman dismissed from a state commission, leaves a page from a grant application on the table in Marisol's Santa Fe office and doesn't pick it back up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne word on that page sounds wrong in her grandmother's voice. It leads to a cultural foundation north of Abiquiú, in the valley where Marisol's family has lived for generations. It leads to the patient's nephew, found dead under the mesa in October. And it leads to Marisol's daughter, Sofia, who has found a place at the Foundation she has never had anywhere else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLupe Archuleta has never turned anyone away. This time she refuses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs Marisol follows the money behind the Foundation's promises, she learns that a family's history can be both a source of truth and a prize someone else wants to claim. Every step closer to what happened on the mesa raises the stakes: her license, the fragile peace with her daughter, and the privacy of people who never asked to have their stories told. The second novel in The Casita Series is a story of grief, inherited silence, and the difference between uncovering the truth and having the right to tell it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBook Two of The Casita Series.
