The true story of Roscoe and Vera Diamond Chittim, the world that brought them together in Texas, and the world war that separated them for two years.

Are you dating anyone? It’s probably the worst question you can ask a single woman, and I get to hear it every time my family gets together. Apparently, being successful, intelligent, and independent means nothing without a partner. This year, my parent’s anniversary celebration promises to be especially awful since my youngest brother just got engaged.

When a 1950s rural Mexican family of nine is forced to resettle in an urban American metropolis, its cultural clash is hopeful, exhausting, and thorny. You will meet Ramiro, a strong-willed, self-reliant, deeply passionate man who is at times a dreamer, sometimes defiant, sometimes tyrannical, but always in control of the ship that carries his lovely wife, Eliza, and their seven children. Ramiro’s hopes and dreams are modest and realistic, yet, as the title suggests, the book shows that a man’s best plans can often go astray.

At 12 years old, Bo is unexpectedly promoted from child to man during this special hunting week-end in the woods of East Texas. He faces a series of tests; corralling his wayward brothers, protecting his mother's shotgun, keeping track of his prized knife, and meeting his demanding father's expectations. He may even impress the girl he likes--who happens to be the only girl on the hunt. Travel back to a time when families hunted together and dogs were held in higher esteem than children; at least the children thought so.

I’m used to demons and voodoo. What I was not prepared for was my life turning into a fairytale, complete with the Wicked Step Mother. My awful step mother is the Voodoo Queen of New Orleans. She’s always hated me for being a Succubus. It just got a hundred times worse after my father died mysteriously. I inherited the family company, but I can’t remove her as VP because she’s made the entire board into her zombies.

I wake up surrounded by death and my memories are gone. A man in a beige hazmat suit reaches his hand through the carnage. “Come with me if you want to live.” I know I’m supposed to know that from somewhere, but I don’t. I know the world outside me is not right.
