TWO HARBORS, Minn., Aug. 2, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- A new release from Xlibris, The Season for Watermelons, tells the story of a young woman raised in the cultural bounds of old Mexico who breaks the rules. With the Mexican Revolution as the catalyst, this is the tale of the repercussions and consequences of her decisions.
This touching story of survival and family values tells of Angelita and her family whose lives are suddenly changed when their parents die prematurely, a direct result of the revolution. Carrying the lessons she learned from her parents, Angelita, after years of sacrificing herself for the good of the family, breaks the centuries old rule of "La Obediencia."
Filled with drama, humor and historical details, The Season for Watermelons is a novel that highlights the spirit of survival, family values, the price of disobedience and the pain families go through during wartime and its aftermath.
