Invisible Scars is a novel set in Texas and Spain. It is the story of a beautiful, wealthy Texas girl, America Harvey, who suffers a personal tragedy, the needless death of her five year old daughter. She does her best to cope with the loss, becoming a jet pilot and finally starting her own airline delivery service, out of Love Field in Dallas, then goes to Spain to visit her best friend whom she met when the friend's father was the Spanish Ambassador to the United States. While there she meets a fabulous looking, elegant, super charming, immensely wealthy, and thoroughly married nobleman, Alfonso, Duke of Tarifa. He has a large family of children but his marriage was one of convenience and permits him to have a love affair with America Harvey. When he begins explaining his background (flashing back to the year 800 when his family's blood began turning blue) we see Madrid in the 30's and the most vivid explanation of what caused the Spanish Civil War. It is horrifying, the most awful example of man's inhumanity to man, on both sides. Two damaged souls, Alfonso and America, search for healing through their love, taking dangerous risks that could tear them apart, plummeting them from Castles in Spain to Spanish prisons.
