Many Words Press is proud to present Jacinta, the second in the series of the Catholic Themes novels by award-winning author William Baer:
In Jacinta, the enthralling second installment of William Baer's series of Catholic Themes novels, we are introduced to Theresa Delgado. A single mother and immigrant residing in New Jersey, Theresa works in a flower shop and is deeply invested in the education of her ten-year-old daughter, Jacinta. Concerns about Jacinta's schooling prompt Theresa to consider relocating to Utah for homeschooling. However, her plans take an unforeseen turn when she becomes embroiled in a homicide case on the day of her departure, making her the prime suspect. Her ensuing cross-country flight draws the relentless pursuit of a New Jersey state trooper, a determined bounty hunter, and a college professor who had been assisting her with Jacinta's educational curriculum. Jacinta weaves a captivating narrative of mystery, family dynamics, spirituality, with subtle threads of romance and adventure. Through this novel, William Baer reaffirms his status as a celebrated storyteller, adept at keeping readers spellbound with his profound narratives.
