Wyoming novelist Bob Cherry, a native of Texas, will be in the Metroplex next weekend to sign his newest and fourth novel, Moving Serafina (TCU Press). Cherry's story, set in far southwest Texas, tells of an aging rancher, forced by the death of his wife to sell his hardpan ranch and faced with the chore of moving the body of his daughter, who died as a young child twenty-five years earlier, so that she may rest in town with her mother. Clayton Elliott's task is complicated by old friends who condemn his sale to water developers and a young illegal Mexican woman, whom he cannot abandon after finding her on his ranch. It's a story of tough choices in a tough land, well told by a man who knows that country and the issues of immigration and water rights . . . and knows friendship. |
