An eager yet insecure young psychiatrist begins her first job in a women’s psychiatric unit—only to be met with cold resistance, strange irregularities, and troubling signs of mistreatment. Rejected not only by her colleagues but even her patients, she’s on the verge of quitting when tragedy strikes: one of her patients dies by suicide. Refusing to walk away, she teams up with an old college crush and her determined mother to investigate. What they uncover is beyond her imagination—criminal negligence, illicit relationships, and the misappropriation of millions in state funds.

In the 1700’s a Mestiza born in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia must leave her familiar surroundings to a new and inhospitable country in Central America with her family. After some time, she falls in love with a local boy but is forced not to see him. When the time comes when the fortress/small castle where she lives has to be defended from English filibusters, not only her young love but his father also dies.

In her compelling debut, Miriam Casco Benard and her siblings emerge as resilient survivors, recounting her extraordinary experiences in the gripping memoir Tender Memories of Fire and Dust: Earthquakes, Revolution, and Family.
