The Outcasts Nancy Mankins Hamm

Beautiful fifteen-year-old Victoria lives in a Central American village, secluded from the outside world.  Young and in love with Raul, Victoria has no idea the changes in store for her when a stranger comes to town.

"You will marry Fidel!"  Her father's menacing tone is all too loud and clear.  "Yesterday I gave him my word."  His hands grasp her arms viciously, demanding obedience.  Victoria's once-gorgeous, soft brown eyes become wild with fear and hate.   Her life changes forever.
Defeated, Victoria leaves the only home she's ever known, and travels to a far away village with the stranger she's been forced to marry.  However, Victoria must bolster her indomitable spirit for the battles which loom ahead.
