A Ballad of Love and Glory / Corrido de amor y gloria (Spanish ed) Audiobook Summary
Una guerra olvidada. Un romance inolvidable.
El ano es 1846. Despues de la controvertida anexion de Texas, el ejercito de los EE. UU. marcha hacia el sur para provocar la guerra con Mexico por la disputada frontera del Rio Grande. Ximena Salome es una talentosa curandera mexicana que suena con construir una familia con el hombre que ama en la codiciada tierra que llama hogar. Pero cuando los Texas Rangers asaltan su rancho y matan a tiros a su esposo, sus suenos se reducen a cenizas. Prometiendo honrar la memoria de su esposo y defender a su pais, Ximena usa sus habilidades curativas como enfermera del ejercito en el frente de la devastadora guerra.
Mientras tanto, John Riley, un inmigrante irlandes en el ejercito yanqui desesperado por ayudar a su familia a escapar de la hambruna que devasta su tierra natal, esta asqueado por la guerra injusta y las atrocidades indescriptibles contra sus compatriotas por parte de oficiales nativistas. En un audaz acto de desafio, cruza a nado el Rio Grande y se une al ejercito mexicano, una desercion que se castiga con la ejecucion. Forma el Batallon de San Patricio, una banda de soldados irlandeses dispuestos a luchar a muerte por la libertad de Mexico. Cuando Ximena y John se encuentran, surge entre ellos una peligrosa atraccion. A medida que la guerra se intensifica, tambien lo hace su pasion. Arrastrados por fuerzas con el poder de cambiar la historia, luchan no solo por el destino de una nacion sino tambien por su futuro juntos.
Desgarradora y lirica, la fascinante saga de Reyna Grande, inspirada en hechos reales y figuras historicas, da vida a estos dos personajes inolvidables e ilumina un momento en gran parte olvidado en la historia que impacta la frontera entre Estados Unidos y Mexico hasta el dia de hoy. ?Sobreviviran Ximena y John al caos de esta amarga guerra, o su amor sera devorado junto con la tierra que luchan por defender?
