Nothing Lasts Forever
0 - Default Title
Description
On Thursday, January 19, 1847, long-simmering tensions erupted in bloodshed in Taos, New Mexico, brought to a head by the recent American takeover during the Mexican American War. Within 24 hours, almost all the Americans in Taos were dead, including Governor Charles Bent.
The insurrection was eventually crushed by American forces in a final battle that destroyed the Taos Pueblo church. The trials that followed are renowned for their biased juries, foregone conclusions, and speed of execution.
Nothing Lasts Forever explores the tensions that fed the 1847 rebellion from the point of view of the fictional Alma Locke, in Taos to bury her mother, and Governor Bent's five-year-old daughter, Teresina.
A heartbreaking novel of love, loss, and conflicting loyalties, Nothing Lasts Forever explores the personal conflicts behind the rebellion and how two families coped with their losses and struggled to make sense of unimaginable tragedy.
A stand-alone novel, Nothing Lasts Forever is Book 4 of the Locke Family Saga.
