Indio

Fourteen-year-old Ipa survived the Apache raid that killed her grandmother and took her older brother hostage, but on the day of her wedding, the Spaniards raid her village, and she is made a slave in the silver mines. Although she escapes forced labor, she watches her brother go mad after an accident. After her cousin is raped, Ipa risks her life to help her escape. Only the kindness of a Spanish soldier offers her any solace in this novel about the Mexican people. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
