Drink One to Me, Christian Bennett

Born youngest of four children into a large family of old money, American photographer Abigail Christensen entered a world already expecting great things of her, and spent her entire life trying to conform, striving to please a family she knew she never could. Finally breaking free of stifling conventionality, she travels to Mexico, drifting from province to province as she captures photographs for an upcoming exhibit, wishing she had settled for the monotony of her previous lifestyle when she attracts the attention of legendary drug lord, Esai Molinero.

A Birmingham, Alabama native, Vicki Allen spent most of her childhood in Central Louisiana, and has lived in Northern Virginia, Southern Mississippi and Oklahoma City. She currently resides with her family in Central Louisiana. Her other works include For Molly, The Search for Shannon, fiction finalist for the Oklahoma Book Award, The Return and The Other Brother.
