The Hummingbird's Daughter by Luis Urrea

I just finished The Hummingbird's daughter which is the One City, One
Story selection for the City of Pasadena. I tried reading it last summer
but because there were so many people in our Hood Canal retreat, I enjoyed
it but did not find it compelling. I started again about a week ago, and
found I could hardly put it down. It is a wonderful story of the
legendary "Saint Teresa" of Cabora, Mexico. When the author was a student
at San diego Mesa College, one of the professors gave him some articles
about his great aunt. He has been researching this story for twenty
years...and it is an unforgettable one!
