I was one of the 1st 12 women in the U.S.A. to work in police radio car. Until then, women were delegated to inside desk jobs. We were under a tremendous handicap. The male deputies received a full police uniform with all of the safety equipment. The women wore a mini skirt, nylons, high heel shoes, WHITE blouse without a police patch on the shoulder, (the blouse was a real target at night), we couldn't wear a gun belt or any other police equipment. We WERE permitted to carry a 38 cal. revolver and hand cuffs inside a black shoulder purse, that slid off my shoulder every time I moved. It was impossible to get to my gun or handcuffs out of my shoulder purse. Working under those circumstances was very dangerous and difficult to do your job. Most of the time, I was without a gun or hand cuffs. I had to use my own imagination to handle most cases involving violence or anger.

Revolutionary poet Federico Garcia Lorca was murdered by the Fascists in August of 1936. Like thousands of others lost in the Spanish Civil War, his body, consigned to an unmarked grave, was never found. The general who signed his death warrant justified his action by claiming that Lorca's words were more powerful than ten thousand guns. In his poetry, his plays and in his life, Lorca was very outspoken against the regime and its allies, the Catholic Church. He once wrote that "In Spain the dead are more alive than the dead in any other country of the world." In saying this, he immortalized himself. The quest to find him, to find his grave, and to understand the rich nuances of his words, continues to this day. In this novella set in contemporary Spain, Angelina, a girl of eight, finds Lorca's weeping spirit huddled beside a fountain in the heart of Granada. Because of his ignominious death, he is paralyzed and cannot leave the city where he was raised and ultimately executed. She befriends him, and in this elegy of love and redemption, Lorca finds his voice once more. In the time that he spends with Angelina, he also finds a friendship that heals them both.
