Dreamers is the tale of two star-crossed lovers, Dolores Gómez (a survivor of the Mexican Revolution), and David Katagian (a survivor of the Armenian Genocide) whose paths lead them from opposite sides of the world to Los Angeles, there to chase the American Dream. Ultimately determined by greater external forces, the dream wilts, fades, and ultimately perishes, as do Dolores and David. The novel unfolds against the background of Twentieth Century United States conflicts, immigration issues, and world economic collapse.

Revenge and murder define Ximena Godoy's story. Her lifetime spans the first half of the 20th century, a transformative time of revolution, economic depression, uprooting and migration. During that time, she witnesses and participates in an era of revolution, bootlegging, dance halls, as well as evolving rules that determine women's lives in both Mexico and America. Never a traditional or conventional woman, Ximena Godoy shatters rules that govern her Mexican heritage, and even those of a wider world. Her story portrays an ever-changing woman who morphs from sheltered child into a complex, deeply flawed human being, passionate and independent, quick to love unconditionally, but just as ready to cling obsessively to revenge, a flaw that leads her into the murky world of murder and criminal justice.

Fiction. From Aztec princess to slave and concubine, Hummingbird--or HuitzitzilAAn in her native Nahuatl--recounts her life during the Spanish conquest of Mexico to Father Benito, the priest who seeks to confess and convert her, to offer her an absolution she neither needs nor wants. Instead, she forces him to see the conquest, for the first time, through the eyes of the conquered. Other novels by Graciela Limon available from SPD include IN SEARCH OF BERNABE, THE DAY OF THE MOON, ERASED FACES, and THE MEMORIES OF ANA CALDERON.
