Description
The winner will receive a paperback copy of the book Soda Springs.
Soda Springs: Love, Sex, and Civil Rights -- a 1960s civil rights novel...and a story of headstrong teens in love. Mix both into a crucible of bitter rivalries, poverty, prejudice, protest, violence, steamy sex and zany antics, and you get a rollicking coming of age tale set in a gritty Mexican-American crusade for justice in small-town America.
An early draft of Soda Springs won the mainstream fiction category of the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers' Colorado Gold contest. The ebook edition of the published novel won the 2011 Global eBook Award for best "Illustrations in a Fiction Book." It was a finalist in both "Adult Multicultural Literature" and "Teen Literature."
The plot twists are many, the characters complex. One reviewer said, "A toot to enjoy; a treasure to ponder; a useful springboard for serious discussion of topics ranging from the language of hate, strategies for community change, expectations about love, sex, and marriage; inherent complexities in immigration reform; and the economic realities of poverty and their costs for the poor. A must read!"
