A tough young reporter in the fictional city of Las Vistas, New Mexico Elizabeth “Digger” Doyle has a nose for uncovering political intrigue at city hall. And there’s plenty of that in a town where developers call the shots. When an environmental activist group contacts Digger about their campaign to stop a road that threatens a historic Spanish chapel, Digger is determined to expose how encroaching sprawl development is damaging the fragile landscape. She hadn’t counted on falling for protest leader Maria Ortiz, the Hispanic artist fighting to save the area’s heritage. As Digger follows the story, aided by confidential tips from a mysterious source, she and Maria must navigate a tricky relationship. Digger faces a painful dilemma–follow her heart and embrace Maria’s cause, or maintain her integrity as a journalist.
