Publisher's Synopsis
`In this book, Annette Gray engagingly chronicles the life story of Mamie Aguirre, an American pioneer woman of extraordinary courage and talent. Mamie`s Missouri marriage at age eighteen, to don Epifanio Aguirre, and aristocratic freighter and merchant from New Mexico, set in motion a series of stirring adventures that shaped the course of her life. Author Annette Gray, in this richly textured narrative, provides the first complete account of Mamie Aguirre`s personal history. I can strongly recommend Journey Of The Heart without hesitation.`-- Marc Simmons, Historian, New Mexico
