In 1923 fourteen-year-old Perfecta makes the decision she won't be
perfect any more. A face-off with her father, Primitivo, the
sheriff of the small Northern New Mexico town, seems to do the
trick. But what now, with her mother never leaving the rocking
chair at the front window and her father ignoring her? Surely even
their harsh Catholic God doesn't think that dancing, smiling and
laughing are sins? But Perfecta knows that falling in love with the
twenty-two-year-old blue-eyed Presbyterian Isaac Martinez is a sin.
When Isaac leaves for California, she promises to wait for him. But
has she escaped one prison only to be trapped by another?
