Autographed, paperback, by award-winning author, Marj Charlier, Hacienda is the tale of three Iowa women who find purpose and happiness when they buy a dilapidated estancia in Bolivia and attempt to restore it to its former glory. With Monica's efficiency, Katie's affability, and Lisa's pugnaciousness, they battle petty corruption, narrowly escape a serial murderer, and fend off a crazy tin-baron heir who covets their Hacienda Nusta. Along the way, they fall in love, find their true callings, and unravel the mystery of a suspected were-cat (picture a feline werewolf) in their midst. A story of both self-discovery and deep friendships, Hacienda shows that there is no expiration date on adventure.
