Chances in disguise
Book - 2021
In 1915, seventeen-year-old Evangelina and her family flee Mexico and start a new life in Texas. She is trained by the local doctor there to be a midwife, but when another doctor from a nearby town finds Evangelina helping a white woman in labor, he sends her away. The woman dies and Evangelina is arrested for murder. Waiting for her case to go to trial, Evangelina must fight off the local sheriff, and try to keep her forbidden relationship with a Muslim man a secret. Her only hope of justice is an attorney assigned by La Liga Protectora Mexicana.
