La Flor De Capomo

Demi is a beautiful, young , intelligent Yaqui Indian girl, living the carefree life of a teenager. She is blessed with wonderful parents, a wise and loving grandmother; and a supportive extended family. All of a sudden it seems, her carefree world begins to fall apart; first with her beloveds cousin ingression into the communitys street gangs, then his violent death. His death signals the emergence of the familys ghosts and past; revealing terrible acts of violence, revenge and horror while at the same time demonstrating the valor, strength and unity of a family, a town, and a people.

A brief history of the Town of Guadalupe, Arizona is included in this story as a necessary backdrop to Demis story. Guadalupes history, like La Flor de Capomo, is a history of courage, hope, faith, strength and hard-won unity, without which our Town would be history, and our people scattered to the winds.
