Joe García, a Marine Colonel and childhood friend devoted to the President, Jade Stewart, La Gringa, is also told from multiple points of view that push at the edges of literary tradition.

Her existence threatens the legitimacy of Christian orthodoxy, and she is anathema to the Christian fundamentalists.
