Award-winning novelist Luis Alberto Urrea explores the intrepid life of his great-aunt, a healer and “Saint of Cabora” who flees to Arizona when she is claimed as the spiritual leader of the Mexican Revolution. This spellbinding sequel to The Hummingbird’s Daughter is a turn-of-the-century journey across America.
