The Ridge

More about the book

A veteran journalist, Luke Jackson, seeks a compelling story to revive his career and finds himself covering a land grant protest in a predominantly Hispanic region of New Mexico. The protestors aim to reclaim grazing rights lost after the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848, which transferred land to the U.S. but overlooked their ancestral claims. As tensions escalate into a standoff between the community and authorities, Luke becomes embroiled in a dangerous conflict rooted in the region's history, facing life-threatening challenges while pursuing the story of a lifetime.
