In her first years, Joya didn’t get to know her father very well; he often had to hide because of the political situation of the country. The government would be aware of her father’s activity against the leaders in control of his country, and very often policemen would come and search her house for information on his whereabouts.
I’m living on the ranch now and, truth be told, I don’t think I can be here much longer. I made a mistake in marrying Curley. I needed a way out of living with you and the only way I could do that was to marry someone, to be respectable.

Not only were these individuals innocent of any involvement in the disappearance, they were not even aware of the chief’s loss.
