Sonora, 1761-62: Father Ygnacio Pfefferkorn, SJ, ill with malaria, is healed by a Pima medicine man: Jevho, and his half-Pima, half-Irish nurse-assistant Patricia O'Meara. A grisly murder is blamed on "Indians." Fr. Ygnacio tracks the murderer, placing his life in jeopardy. Patricia, who loves both the priest and Jevho, must choose which path to follow. "Sonora Moonlight is a brilliant novel... This fascinating work of history and imagination probes important facets of the Spanish conquest of the Americas in its spiritual and its practical dimensions." --Ralph Freedman, author of Herman Hesse: Pilgrim of Crisis and Life of a Poet: Rainer Maria Rilke "For those who love historical fiction, this is a must-read. Weinberg does not describe the past, she recreates it with vivid details about plant and animal life, missionaries and pioneers, and Native American medicine." --Diana Lopez, author of Sophia's Saints
