HENDERSON, Nev., September 13, 2022 (Newswire.com) - Diane Barrera Turner is an experienced writer while working as Director of Business Development and marketing for hospitals throughout Southern California. Her background includes writing and directing plays for both child and adult audiences. Her first novel, "The Promesa Strategy" was a political thriller set in the aftermath of 9/11 and she is following that up with a look further back into history with her new novel.
"Seeds of Hidalgo" centers around the Rancho Pena, a ranch constructed in the early 1800s in California under Spanish rule. The family survived the Mexican occupation and then faces the takeover from the American victory. Many families including the Pena family found themselves at risk of losing everything.
