Bless me, Ultima
By Rudolfo Anaya
Antonio is six when Ultima comes to stay with his family in New Mexico. She is a curandera, one who cures with herbs and magic. under her wise wing, tony will probe the family ties that bind and hand him and he will discover himself in the magical secrets of the past- a mythic legacy as palpable as the Catholicism of Latin America. And at each life turn there is Ultima, who delivered Tony into the world…and will nurture the birth of his soul.
