New Mexico Sunset


Book Description

The saga of the Lucas, Monroe, and Dawson families, introduced in New Mexico Sunrise, echoes across the vast open landscape of a state in its infancy. Now the next generation must take up the pioneer spirit of their parents and lay claim to their place in a changing world. Pamela Charbonneau thought The Heart's Calling was leading her back to Colorado - and her forbidden love - but it takes a sudden turn when she forges a friendship with Jim Williams. Can she find her destiny along the barren westward trail? Feeling stifled by her overprotective father, Daughtry Lucas answers an advertisement and becomes Mrs. Nicholas Dawson in a marriage by proxy. Will this marriage between strangers succeed, or will Forever Yours remain a distant dream because of Nick's dark past? Angelique Monroe can't resist a worthy cause, and this time Angel's Cause is the women's suffrage movement. But her lifelong friend, Gavin Lucas, doesn't trust her new political acquaintances. Who will Angel rely on when her life is on the line? Joelle Dawson and John Monroe pledged their love and promised to marry in Come Away My Love, but the cruelties of life have victimized them both. Can they find healing together, or are their hearts broken beyond repair? You'll be captivated by this collection of four complete novels by award-winning author Tracie Peterson. The tales of inspiring love in New Mexico Sunset are stories you'll treasure for years to come.




The Heart's Calling

Sent away from the man she wants to marry by her wealthy parents, Pamela Charbonneau now finds herself in a stifling small town in Missouri under the watchful eye of her strict grandmother. But trouble has a way of finding Pamela no matter where she is. As she schemes to accompany her new friend Zandy Dawson and her mine-owner husband back to Colorado, Pamela's wildest dreams could not contain what lies ahead. But Pamela also could not imagine a friend as strong and dependable as rugged Jim Williams, or a faith in God that she will test to the limit. As she seeks to find herself amid the scourges of the sagebrush, will Pamela ever realize her true heart's calling?

Landscape Dreams, A New Mexico Portrait

This collection of elegantly composed black-and-white images by one of New Mexico’s most accomplished photographers, celebrates the state’s captivating physical variety and enduring allure. With subject matter ranging from some of the state’s most iconic landforms—including the White Sands desert and Carlsbad Caverns—to the people who work the land, Varjabedian’s images pay homage to New Mexico’s ancient history and to the homely details of everyday life. In photographing his subjects, whether epic or mundane, Varjabedian seeks the moments when the light, shadow, composition, and other elements combine to express the beauty of the place. Marin Sardy’s wide-ranging essay provides historical and cultural contexts in which to understand Varjabedian’s work. Scholar-poet Jeanetta Calhoun Mish defines the particular quality of the artist’s imagery.
