"Jirón has produced a jewel of a story ... I found myself marking passages of the book just to go back and reread the sentences that were too beautiful not to revisit." - 5-star review from Dorothy Garcia

Award-Winning Author C.C. Jirón's tale of a clairvoyant bookstore owner, determined to fulfill the plea of a hero's ghost: "Por favor! Encuentra a mi familia! - Please! Find my family!" Inspired by family archival lore and rich with multicultural saga, paranormal mystery, and transcendent romance.

A WALTZ ACROSS TIME spans 500 years of New Mexico's history, inspired by family ancestral records and lore; interweaving a contemporary ghost story, bibliomystery and romance with fictionalized accounts of ordinary people navigating extraordinary times.

Lucinda, a clairvoyant Santa Fe bookstore owner, promises the ghost of a one-eyed Marine she will return his family's 500-year-old Spanish Bible to his descendant and rightful heir, using clues stashed within its pages to guide her search.

Each clue opens a window to the lives and loves of Franciscans and Indigenous peoples, Spanish-Mexican colonials, mixed-race settlers creating adobe homesteads and fighting slavery with the Union Army, forbidden lovers eloping amidst a hail of bullets, midnight fugitives being quietly fed, and WWII soldiers prevailing over devastating injuries. But Lucinda's search for the Bible's heir goes dark with the plight of a Marine who lost an eye at Okinawa and imagined a raven-haired angel just before his world, too, went dark. How can she trace the thread of his life to the present day and keep her promise without losing sight of her own hopes and dreams?
