Coyote Heart
|
A Graceful Story of Love and Redemption
Paula Margulies
|
Coyote Heart tells the story of Carolyn Weedman, a forty-year-old librarian trapped in a troubled marriage with a disabled husband. After a chance encounter with a widowed Pala Indian professor, Carolyn finds herself drawn into an unexpected love affair. Torn by conflicting feelings, she discovers a secret about her husband’s past that forces her to confront her divided emotions and choose between the two men that she loves.
Set against the simmering backdrop of local politics on the Pala Indian Reservation, Coyote Heart explores the intricacies of illicit love and marriage, the strength that comes from sacrifice, and the courage to forgive the injuries of the past. The novel calls on several San Diego landscapes, including the Rancho Penasquitos preserve and the Pala Indian Reservation, to give the story a unique local flavor. Written with haunting natural imagery and lyrical prose, Coyote Heart tells a compelling tale of love and modern Native American culture.
Editorial Reviews
A graceful story of love and redemption, Coyote Heart is a gift for all of us who grapple to understand the complexities of relationships.
-Patricia Santana, author of Motorcycle Ride on the Sea of Tranquility and Ghosts of El Grullo
With Coyote Heart, Paula Margulies uses lyrical, yet restrained prose to take us into a world where the usual definitions will not fit—where the personal and the political, even the human and the animal, become increasingly difficult to differentiate. This novel bravely explores the difference between a relationship that bends and one that breaks; it even suggests that a healed fracture is stronger than what was originally whole.”
-Peter Rock, author of My Abandonment, The Bewildered, and The Unsettling
Redemption is a destination we all hope to reach. Coyote Heart takes us on a wonderful journey, crossing cultural boundaries, toward that great human place.
- Mark Trahant, Pulitzer Prize finalist and author of Pictures of Our Nobler Selves, A history of Native Americans in Media
