Title: Mostly true, Completly wonderful
Review: This book is the true story (fictionalized biography) of a saint who lived in Mexico in the tail end of the 1800's, a time of Indian wars, ruthless dictators and dreadfully poor peasants. Born among the poorest of the poor, Teresita has a gift that is recognized by Huila, a medicine woman of Indian heritage. Teresita's story as she rises from dirt poverty to recognition by the Vatican as a witch, initially, and later as a national treasure is so beautifully written by Sr. Urrea.The author chooses his words with the utmost care and produces a book rich with the art of language which will surround the reader like a silken blanket. The smell of roses will linger in your nostrils long after you have finished this wonderful book.
