"Mystery, mayhem, and a movie deal waiting to happen. Lisa's Page-turner delivers. This is one of those rare first novels that hits the trifecta: well-written, wildly entertaining, and sneakily enlightening. Set in a quirky New Mexico village by the Rio Grande, it blends esoteric wisdom, ghostly goings-on, and good old-fashioned skullduggery into a story that moves fast and sticks with you."

"Saving Cottonwood is a hopeful and positive story in which strong female characters work together with allies both seen and unseen, to save a place they love."
