Description

Teresita's life is marked by mystery and discovery. Born to an illiterate mother, she has no knowledge of her past or future, until the day she meets Huila, an elderly healer who takes her under her wing. As Teresita learns about the healing properties of plants and the power of prayer, she uncovers a remarkable gift - the ability to heal with just a touch. As news of her powers spreads, the Urrea ranch becomes a place of pilgrimage, attracting pilgrims and government agents alike. The Hummingbird's Daughter is a story of self-discovery, faith, and the complexities of love and sacrifice. It is a tale of one girl coming to terms with her destiny, and the miraculous events that unfold as she navigates her newfound abilities. With its rich themes and vivid storytelling, this novel explores the human experience in all its complexity.
