Bravo's Call; Love and News in Goodland
About the Book
Fresh out of college, Mateo Bravo thinks he’s landed his first big break—a reporting job at a small-town newspaper in western Kansas. But Goodland, with its grain elevators, high school sports rivalries, and city council squabbles, is far from the glamorous career he imagined.
As Mateo learns the ropes of local journalism, he discovers that every story runs deeper than the headline—from volleyball courts to football fields, from council chambers to Main Street coffee shops. What begins as a job soon becomes a test of resilience, loyalty, and identity, as he navigates small-town politics, hidden prejudices, and his own search for belonging.
Bravo's Call is a heartfelt novel about chasing dreams, uncovering truths, and finding one’s place in a world that doesn’t always make space for outsiders.
