A Time of Innocence

Quirina Vasquez de Bond has lived a life that most people never knew existed. Few today can remember an age of innocence that has been lost. Quirina believes it can be restored to those who are lost and unhappy in today's fast paced lifestyle we call modern society.

The adventures she experienced at a young age growing up as one of fifteen siblings living on a ranch high in the mountains of Sonora, Mexico might cause many to cringe and disapprove. But being isolated from the outside world had a huge impact on her after leaving home at the age of seventeen. She was forced to confront a new world for which she was totally unprepared. It was like arriving on a foreign planet, learning everything all over again just to fit in. Fortunately, she met some people who were well educated and patient, who taught her how to adjust and adapt...and survive. But shortly after, she would quickly learn that this world had a cold and dark surprise in store for her. 

The stories Quirina tells of her rich and vivid life are unique and rare. She was an adventurous person who lived life to the fullest no matter the hardships. A woman who never gave up on her dreams. A loving woman who was humble, honest, patient, hardworking, and compassionate.
