White Dove, Tell Me is the story of Xabier Etxea, a young Basque-American sheep rancher, whose father is unexpectedly killed in an accident. As Xabier is dealing with the ramifications of his father's death, he learns that not only is the family ranch in jeopardy of foreclosure but his father's death may not have been the "accident" it first appeared to be. Now Xabier must find a way to save his family's ranch while searching to understand the "why" and "what" of the events leading up to and during the day of his father's death.
This engaging novel is not only an insightful approach to the Basque legacy in the New West, but also a moving story about place and identity, with a touch of magic realism, Basque mythology, and lyricism. This compelling tale reveals both the power of the past and the need of risk-taking while facing the future. It is an inspiring story about strong family and community ties that coexist with a vindication of individual dreams." - David Rio, author of Robert Laxalt: The Voice of the Basques in American Literature and New Literary Portraits of the American West
