"Money, Douglas, money and power. That's what oil and gas is all about. Why should I worry if a few lousy field workers get sick?" Problems with radiation in the oil and gas industry is the last thing on geologist Cherlynn Rodgers mind as she begins her new job at the Museum of Northern Arizona. All that changes, however, when a brash field geologist seeks the advice of his former professor, a summer geologist-in-residence at the museum. Despite her initial dislike for the irritating fieldman, Cherlynn soon joins the two Texans in a search for ways to make the lives of David Piper's men safer. It isn't long before their own safety becomes a concern as Cherlynn learns just how ruthless powerful men with a lot to lose can be.

"Sometimes, democracy must be bathed in blood." General Augusto Pinochet A young Jesuit priest returns to Chile and a politically divided Catholic Church. After a violent military coup, his bishop assigns Alejandro the task of guiding and protecting the women of a church-sponsored workshop. At first reluctant to waste his time with lower-class women, Father Saavedra soon discovers their extraordinary courage and unexpected wisdom. He also comes to admire the beauty of the arpilleras, or tapestries, they create to protest the violence of General Pinochet's regime and its personal toll on their lives.. The women of the Holy Rosary workshop, brutally frank and disrespectful of all authority, gradually form a family with Father Saavedra and the three upper-class women who assist them in surprising ways. For nearly seventeen years, young or old, they share their personal stories, learn from each other, and fight against a government determined to incarcerate or kill anyone who opposes or criticizes them and quash their own countrymen's struggle for human dignity.
