The Walls Between Us: A Borderland Love Story

"BEAUTIFUL." "INTRIGUING." "A PAGE TURNER!" "TWISTS AND TURNS..." "WOW" "A GRIPPING & THOUGHTFUL READ!"

"One of the best educational and fascinating reads I've seen in a long time. Beautifully written by this great and compelling author."

"It's not just a love story between people, it's a romance with the great Southwest."

This book has been 20 years in the making. It is historic fiction based on a true story. Love runs rampant in The Walls Between Us but this is not your typical Romance. Incorporating a great deal of factual information to help the reader understand conditions at the US-Mexico border, it reads like a non-fiction book but at times has a magical quality. The Walls Between Us speaks of simpler times before the border wall became such an issue and it carries us forward into the present day. In the process we find there are political walls of injustice, emotional walls of defensiveness and social walls of discrimination. Join us as we watch the walls come tumbling down when one prioritizes the powers of love, forgiveness and acceptance.

Destiny brings two star-crossed lovers together in the Mexico-Arizona borderlands of the Sonoran Desert. She is a budding attorney from New York; he is a photojournalist fleeing the Mexican drug cartel. Follow the romance of Sarah and Benito as they learn from their striking similarities and diverse cultural differences. Witness the faith-filled Mexican woman who is trafficked after a tragic incident at the border. Watch the power of unconditional love soften a hopeless Vietnam veteran vigilante. Listen to the retired Jewish professor from New York as he creatively helps the underprivileged south of the border. Meet the wise, indigenous young woman who only wants to go to college. Through a series of synchronistic events, the paths and stories of these people intersect and destiny rules the direction that their lives take.

"We may not be able to open our borders but we can open our minds and our hearts. Let 'The Walls Between Us' open yours!" - Kate McGahan

"Lush imagery of southern Arizona and Mexico, complete with starry nights, sunlit skies, and warmth of the Desert Southwest envelop this story of love, loss, forgiveness, and betrayal. Once I started reading I found it very hard to put this book down. It truly is a page turner with many things that will catch you by surprise."

"You'll have to read this book for yourself to find a story you won't forget. It's a beautiful one, and a most timely one in our current crisis at the border."

"Kate has created a wonderful tapestry of the border issues and she has woven them into her compelling story line, that is both emotional, intellectual, and heartwarming. The descriptions of the landscape and Southern Arizona are spot on and is filled with indigenous historical references to both the Border issues and the fabric of life on the border. Complexity, cruelty, and love are all in conflict at times, providing a what comes next page turner! A must read!"
