The Trilogy captures the desperation that drives undocumented immigrants to risk their lives wandering in the desert, while also documenting the mixed emotions experienced by those who are tasked with apprehending them.<\/p>\n \u201cThese are important novels, not to be missed or forgotten,\u201d Margaret Coel added.<\/p>\n In\u00a0\u201cFleeing The Past\u201d\u00a0LaGrone provides readers with an intimate look at the rigorous training Border Patrol recruits must complete just to advance to field trainee status, and introduces Felina Camarena Rivera, one of those so-called “Dreamers,” who aspires to become a doctor\u2014if only she can become a U.S. citizen. As Sheppard strives to overcome his own checkered past by becoming a border agent, he falls in love with the very type of person he is training to apprehend.<\/p>\n Succeeding books follow Sheppard through the dangers, boredom and contradictions of field work and the intrigue of Patrol politics, as well as what Clive Cussler termed the “personal problems and challenges” that revolve around his conflicted relationship with Felina, who desperately pursues her dream.<\/p>\n Book 2: \u201cFelina\u2019s Spell,\u201d and Book 3: \u201cMoments of Truth\u201d will be released at intervals later in 2021.<\/p>\n About Morgan James Publishing:<\/strong><\/p>\n Morgan James publishes trade quality titles designed to educate, encourage, inspire, or entertain readers with current, consistent, relevant topics that are available everywhere books are sold.\u00a0For more information, go to: http:\/\/www.morganjamespublishing.com\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n More About This Title:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cFleeing the Past: The Delta Tango Trilogy – Book One,\u201d by Christopher LaGrone, published by Morgan James Publishing, has a release date of January 12, 2021. \u201cFleeing the Past\u201d \u2014 ISBN 978-1631950773 \u2014 has 274 pages and is being sold as a trade paperback for $16.95.<\/p>\n About the Author:<\/strong><\/p>\n A native Coloradan, Christopher LaGrone pursued his goal of becoming a published author after service as a U.S. Border Patrol Agent in southern Arizona, the setting for The Delta Tango Trilogy.
