Hacienda

"A tale of three Iowa women who find purpose and happiness when they buy a dilapidated estancia in Bolivia and attempt to resore it to its former glory. With Monica's efficiency, Katie's gullibility, and Lisa's pugnaciousness, they battle petty corruption, narrowly escape a serial murderer, and fend off a crazy tin-baron heir who covets their Hacienda Nusta. Along the way, they fall in love and unravel the mystery of a suspected werecat in their midst. A story of both self-discovery and deep friendships, Hacienda shows that there is no expiration date on adventure"--Back cover
