History. Somehow, people can’t help getting it wrong. Consequences reverberate across generations, roiling emotions, dismantling families. Lucia Montoya discovers secrets and imagines what should have been.
What a fascinating look into yet another subgroup of Dixon residents. This was especially meaningful and resonant for me, given my ancestral affinity to the American Jewish diaspora. Again such a well-realized, well-told story! Brava!
Hal, I am so pleased to hear from you and to know that Imagine, Mi Amor resonated with you and reached you in the particular way I intended the story to reach-- specifically and also broadly broach the subject of the swirl of history and that we are all caught up and mixed into the melee of historical events. Thank you for this comment.
I love that the Gibsons make an appearance at the end. The perfect way to spend an evening with the rain coming down is listening to you tell this story. Loved every minute. ❤️
Excellent! I remember an LA Times article that discribed the lives of Jews who had converted to the Christian faith. But secretly they practiced their original Jewish faith. In the article, I think they were referred to as "Cruzados." Very good story!
Thank you, Hector, thank you a bunch for listening to Corvairs and Horny Toads. Thanks for ridin' shotgun with me --for a long time getting to this point.
Lucinda you capture the imagination, painting your story with words that weave highways of memories bringing to light and exposing the hidden darkness that still lives in our world. Your stories bring laughter, tears, thinking and heart searching. Thank you for sharing your gift of storytelling.
Wordsmith Lucinda Blackwood again weaves a heartwarming tale of the lives and loves of people from the fictionalized town of Dixon, which takes on a personality all its own. This is my favorite so far.I love your writing style, Lucinda. I'm there on the hwy with you, watching the cottontail hotfoot it across the lonely road, eyeballing the slow-moving armadillo, feeling the heat of both Texas and New Mexico. And pouring that pack of peanuts into a sweet bottle of Coca Cola. Gracias, amiga.
You're welcome. I appreciate your kind words so much...such a wonderful compliment from a respected writer. Looking forward to your next Substack offering and hope to see you soon.
Such a sweetly touching story, with its shift in characters from previous ones. You blended the history seamlessly. Thank you, once again, Lucinda.
And thank you, Nancy

Randy, thank you for listening and thank you for your words that are especially meaningful coming from my long-lost, now-found cousin.
A'HO. We're Still Here, Randy. And "WE" tell stories.
Thank you for this one, Lucinda. Made a long car ride shorter. You poignantly capture the sadness and beauty of a family history.
Thank you a bunch, Susan
Thanks again, Lucinda. This has become appointment listening for us. Wonderful worlds you create!
Much appreciated, Matt...love knowing y'all are listening.

Thank you.
Love this one, too, Lucinda. It hits home to this Catholic girl whose best friend in college is Sephardic Jew. Thank you for this memory
Thank you, Jane. Storytelling. There's no telling who will relate to a story and more stories will come.
