The Trip of the Eight Escapades magically treats nineteen-year-old Latina, Harryette Lago, to romance and adventure. In a Texas field filled with beautiful wild flowers Harryette meets an unusual, slightly sneaky, mystical creature who promises to fulfill her greatest desires. What woman could refuse? Certainly not the feisty, pretty, courageous, young Harryette. A muddled path emerges as reality intervenes upon fantasy and brings as much heartache as romance. Harryette meets a man who has closed himself from true intimacy; a world traveler plagued by past rejection; a man seeking his lost youth; a rich man fearful of change and saddled with a corrupt brother; a petty thief; a southern gentleman living with a ghost; a literary man thrown into a mysterious hijacking; and a doctor involved with white trade slavery. Ultimately, Harryette discovers true love and the courage to choose her own future, dismissing outside interference.
