BUT LOVE BRINGS NEW LIFE ...

The "New York Times"-bestselling author delivers the first book in a daring new trilogy about a young Mexican girl adjusting to her new life in the United States, who finds herself in a Cinderella story--with a nightmarish twist.

Delia returns to the home of her wealthy aunt to continue her education at an exclusive private school, only to find herself the target of a vengeful spurned suitor and dealing with the bitter jealousy of her cousin Sophia, and the loss of her lover Adan.

Poor Delia, nothing ever happens to her. Her life is so dull, dull, dull. But perhaps if Delia decided to look up or turn around, she'd see... the elephants marching through her house... the pirate sitting behind her on the school bus... or even the submarine that rises to the surface right after she leaves the pool! If Delia ever paid attention, she'd realize her life is quite exciting after all! Artist Andy Myer brings to hilarious life the experiences and possibilities that the world might offer each of us if we would only pay attention.

It is the dawn of a new century in San Francisco and Delia Martin is a wealthy young woman whose life appears ideal. But a dark secret colors her life, for Delia's most loyal companions are ghosts, as she has been gifted (or some would say cursed) with an ability to peer across to the other side. Since the great quake rocked her city in 1906, Delia has been haunted by an avalanche of the dead clamoring for her help. Delia flees to the other side of the continent, hoping to gain some peace. After several years in New York, Delia believes she is free...until one determined specter appears and she realizes that she must return to the City by the Bay in order to put this tortured soul to rest. It will not be easy, as the ghost is only one of the many victims of a serial killer who was never caught. A killer who after thirty years is killing again. And who is now aware of Delia's existence.

Delia's Song is a novel that focuses on the involvement of a young co-ed in political organizing and the 1960s protest movement on a college campus in California. The book also deals with sexual awakening and feminism by following the protagonist, Delia, in her activities and in her thoughts through the technique of stream of consciousness. "... the book is an interesting look at an individual's evolution, from fearing the experiences that life brings to being a person who is satisfied with herself". -- Women in Libraries Journal
