More about Dale: Dale Cramer is the critically acclaimed, best-selling author of Sutter’s Cross, Bad Ground, Levi’s Will, Summer of Light, Paradise Valley, and The Captive Heart. His novels have won two Christy Awards, a Romantic Times Top Pick, and multiple listings among the best books of the year at Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, and Booklist, as well as numerous starred reviews. His latest novel, The Captive Heart, released in December 2011, is the second installment of a trilogy called The Daughters of Caleb Bender, based on an Amish colony in Mexico in the 1920’s.
More about A Captive Heart: Ravaged by disease, preyed upon by ruthless bandits, the Bender family’s second year in Mexico takes a grievous turn.  Faced with impossible choices, the expatriate Amish discover, more than ever before, what it means to live by faith and not by sight.

But it’s Miriam who must make the hardest choice as her heart takes her on a new and dangerous course. Domingo. “He is gentle,” his sister said, “until someone he loves is threatened.” Is Miriam that someone?


“Cualnezqui,” he often calls her— the Nahuatl word for ‘beautiful one’. The chiseled native has proven himself a man of principle, grace and power. Yet is he the pearl of great price for whom she would sacrifice everything, or is he merely a friend?
Tormented by conflicting emotions, she’s haunted by vivid dreams: Dressed in the coarse cotton pants and shirt of a peasant, she stands on the precipice of a sun-washed ridge searching desperately for Domingo. Domingo the fierce. Domingo the protector.

Domingo the forbidden.
