Set against the sun-baked, unforgiving landscape of Mexico, Lie Down in Me is the poignant story of a young cabrero (goatherd) who, in defiance of his family, his church, and his community, married a beautiful Indian girl with a mysterious, unhealing wound. Their love was profound but simple—a quiet bond that the rigid world around them could never truly understand. When his wife passes away, the cabrero begins a grueling journey to find her a proper burial place. As he travels through a society that has shunned him, his physical trials become a spiritual pilgrimage. Through his suffering, he uncovers the true magnitude of his passion and learns a difficult path toward grace, eventually finding a way to help the very community that once rejected him. In this powerful debut novel, Andrew Jolly weaves a tale of devotion so deep that it transcends death itself. Will the cabrero find a final resting place for his love, or will the weight of his grief become a grave of its own?
