  • "Teresita is not an ordinary girl. Born of an illiterate, poor Indian mother, she knows little about her past or her future. She has no idea that her father is Don Tomas Urrea, the wild and rich owner of a vast ranch in the Mexican state of Sinaloa. She has no idea that Huila, the elderly healer who takes Teresita under her wing, knows secrets about her destiny. And she has no idea that soon all of Mexico will rise in revolution, crying out her name. When Teresita is but a teenager, learning from Huila the way plants can cure the sick and prayer can move the earth, she discovers an even greater gift: she has the power to heal. Her touch, like warm honey, melts pain and suffering. But such a gift can be a burden, too."@en
  • "Es 1889, y la guerra civil está elaborando cerveza en México. Una muchacha de 16 años, hija ilegítima pero querida de Teresita, del ranchero rico y de gran alcance pone a Tomas Urrea, estelas del sueño más extraño--un sueño que ella ha muerto. Solamente no era un sueño. Esta mujer joven apasionada y rebellious se ha presentado de muerte con una energía de curar--pero tomará toda su fe para aguantar los ensayos que aguardan a su y su familia ahora que ella ha hecho el Santo de Cabora."
  • "This historical novel is based on Urrea's real great-aunt Teresita, who had healing powers and was acclaimed as a saint. Urrea has researched historical accounts and family records for years to get an accurate story."
