The Matriarch of La Bonita is a story of one woman's quest for truth as she embarks on a journey to Colombia, South America. She is hired as an English tutor for a Colombian family, while researching for her thesis on social injustice. What Faith doesn't know is that the family in which she comes to live, holds as much conflict and mystery as the country itself. What begins as a journey dedicated to research becomes an adventure deep into the heart of the vast Andes Mountains, where Faith is both mentally and physically challenged beyond her imagination. She survives being kidnapped, has to change her identity, fights amongst the strongest political guerilla band in Colombian history, only to face her biggest challenge: facing the truth about herself. In a country that offers little grace, The Matriarch of La Bonita is a story of three generations of women, all struggling to find contentment, amidst a family and a land that are divided against themselves.
