The Feria, by Julia Bade

First love is beautiful, until it’s stolen. For Soledad, the summer she spent with a feria worker named Xavier wasn’t long enough, but it would have to do. Her father’s vicious and greedy plot has forced her into a miserable arranged marriage with a reputable banker meant to save the family fortune. When baby Abril comes along, Soledad sees her beautiful eyes and knows she is really Xavier’s daughter. She guards this secret with her very life. But twenty years later, through her daughter, an unexpected reconnection with destiny will bring the very beating of Soledad’s heart to a cataclysmic halt. The Feria is a charming love story dancing on both sides of the border, intricately written around Mexican-American culture and the uncertainties of love.
