Staff Pick

Rain of Gold is an engrossing read that's full of tales both tall and true. Villaseñor has a way of getting to one's heart through the stories of his ancestors and the journey that leads to his parents meeting. The sequel, Thirteen Senses, is equally moving.
Recommended by Nate Ashley, Powell's City of Books

This phenomenal national bestseller has received extraordinary reviews and avid national media attention. Novelist Villasenor tells the true-life saga of one family's journey from the days of Pancho Villa in war-ravaged Mexico to the Prohibition era in California.

Review:

"A grand and vivid history... the characters are keenly drawn... often I felt like a family member watching from a corner stool." — The New York Times Book Review
