Huajatolla

About the Book

    Huajatolla: Breasts of the Earth is a story of a land, its people, wealth, tradition, love, death and one man's strife to be part of what he knew he may never have; the love, warmth and compassion of a family he so desperately needed.  Especially the love of Estrella Sevilla, the future Baroness of the vast Estancia, Cabeza de Toro.

    The multi-cultural barrier that stood between them, the wealth and power the name Cabeza de Toro instilled into the vaqueros, the towns people and all who would dare infringe upon its holdings would be placed on one man's shoulders, Ben Wood.  He knew however, the importance of his position could not overcome the cultural barrier of the aristocratic Spanish family.  Ben Wood, an uneducated orphan, who at birth had been tossed into the hands of Ella Wood, brothel owner in Grass Valley, Kansas, and raised by her until the day he struck out for Colorado and Cabeza de Toro, where through years of hard work, his knowledge of cattle and ranching moved him to the top hand on Cabeza de Toro.

    Mesmerized by his love for the beautiful Estrella Sevilla, but realizing what he thought was her disgust for him, he took his love to town and to the arms of Maria Diaz, a part time dance hall entertainer, who resembled  Estrella Sevilla.  This union brought him a love, compassion and wealth beyond his dreams, but not Estrella.  Even with the wealth of Ben and Maria's mines, his loyalty to the Patron of Cabeza de Toro, Don Renaldo Sevilla, demanded he stay as top hand; for this was all he knew; cattle, land, ranching and his love of them and Estrella.  He loved her from a distance until a stormy night in a cabin high in the Huajatolla Mountains where three people changed his life forever.
