Josefina has heard tales and legends all her life: rumors of gold and silver buried in the hills, and even tales of a ghostly Weeping Woman who haunts the countryside. But she never imagined that such stories might be true--until one day a mysterious stranger arrives at her rancho.
This suspenseful tale is set in New Mexico in 1826, and includes an illustrated "Looking Back" essay and a glossary of Spanish words used in the story.
