The tension between the two families escalates, and Lin finds himself caught in the middle of a dangerous feud.La Tinaja Bonita is a classic western novel that explores themes of love, loyalty, and honor. It is a gripping tale of adventure, romance, and the rugged landscape of the American West.In that white formation shot up from the earth's bowels, arbitrary and irrelevant amid the surrounding alien layers of slate, four black stones were lodged as if built into the wall by some hand -- four small stones shaping a cross, black against the white, symmetrical and plain beyond need of imagination.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
