Diego’s promise to Alfonso Escalante – chapter 1 Echos of revolution
The storm that swept through Mexico two years earlier ended in the defeat of the insurgents and the death of their leader Miguel Hidalgo. In such adverse circumstances, a certain adolescent was returning home from his uncle’s funeral. On the battlefield, he found a scared deaf-mute boy and decided to bring him to his father’s home to take care of him. This noble resolution meant that over time he became more mature and responsible than his peers. Perhaps it was this, besides his tall figure and handsome features that made the heart of certain very young senorita beat faster? Even if both of them were too young to think of adult things like courtship or marriage at the time.
Although the revolution ended two years earlier, its echoes continued to reach distant Alta California, and the guerrillas still harassed military posts in Mexico and California. And one day they influenced the life of a beautiful adolescent’s family and the chosen one of her heart.
