Nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in Fiction Set between 1951 and 1954 on a banana plantation in Tiquisate, Guatemala, meet Connor Caine--disavowed New Orleans blue-blood turned renegade photojournalist--as he navigates Cold War politics, the 'Red Scare', and a CIA-led coup d'etat ending the Guatemalan 'Ten Years of Spring' in 1954. Along the way young Connor discovers himself and love in the arms of the dynamically capable Honduran journalist, Abigail Catalina Hernandez Cortez. Can their love survive a father's relentless pursuit of power and control or the bombings and midnight attacks of the Yanquis? This book, Ten Years of Spring, deals with the history, politics, and power of a little known company that changed the world, the United Fruit Company. It delves into the relationship between this powerful multi-national corporation and its powerful allies within the CIA and US government. Ten Years of Spring details the second instigated coup d'etat of a foreign government, Operation PBSuccess ( the first being the Shah of Iran). This, however, would not be the last. Since the 1950s at least eighty coups have been used to destabilize and topple nations where vast natural and cultural resources reside.

Autorenporträt
Romer Shaw was born in New Orleans, raised on stories older than the soil, and called-again and again-back to the Mississippi Delta.His roots stretch through generations of Mississippi blood, but it's more than lineage that binds him to that land. It's a pull. A presence. Something spiritual. As if the alluvial earth itself had a claim on his soul.Writing in the tradition of Faulkner, Baldwin, Woodrell, and Mosley, Romer crafts Southern Gothic stories soaked in memory, fire, and moral reckoning. His work centers the Delta-its ghosts, its heat, its brutal beauty-as both character and curse.He now lives in Northwest Montana, where the mountains keep their own kind of silence-but the Delta still speaks. Always.
