Sarita

Inspired by her own family’s roots in the Wild Horse Desert, the story follows a fearless young woman, Sarita, determined to seek justice for her brother’s murder when no one else will — not even the Texas Rangers. As Sarita sets off alone across the Rio Grande to confront his killer, she faces everything from tequila smugglers to snakes to revolutionaries. Sarita brings a powerful, female-led voice to a setting and era often romanticized but rarely shown from the perspective of a woman.
