Luz Stella wanted the world to be a better place. When she found it to be otherwise, she did not hesitate to do all in her power to change it. Bismark Pacheco was there to do his part-to save the world, and to save Luz Stella. Or was it the other way around?
When Pacheco loses his passport in a desperate deep water escape from a Cape Canaveral Cruise ship, the two seek help in Birmingham from their old friend Wilson Abut. The former quarterback, now a journalist, stirs the pot with his column Abut To You.
Bubba Driver, the mammoth defensive tackle, runs interference. Eighty-year-old Dr. Helene Stern dodges terrorists who would destroy her Health First Clinic, and provides comfort to Siboney, the Latin beauty and unapologetic revolutionary. All are arrayed against the steely-eyed Bobby Sanchez who wants to bring down anything and anyone who would stand for an orderly world. This is Luz Stella's Tale.
