Title: Touch a Wild Heart
Description: Who would be brave enough to touch a wild heart?

Chela was proud of herself and her people. Teaching English to Mexican immigrants in the pear orchards of Oregon, Chela felt she was making a contribution, bettering the lives of those for whom she cared so deeply.

When a strange man approached Chela with a plan for her to help her people in a different, more dangerous way, her first response wasn't fear, but rather fascination with the stranger. Could she gamble on exposing the horrible secret of her family? Would she risk losing the only man she'd ever come to love? Did she value the lives of her people more than she did her own?
