Summary

When sixteen-year-old Teresita, the illegitimate daughter of a late-nineteenth-century rancher, arises from death possessing the power to heal, she is declared a saint and finds her faith tested by the impending Mexican civil war.

Es 1889, y la guerra civil está elaborando cerveza en México. Una muchacha de 16 años, hija ilegítima pero querida de Teresita, del ranchero rico y de gran alcance pone a Tomas Urrea, estelas del sueño más extraño--un sueño que ella ha muerto. Solamente no era un sueño. Esta mujer joven apasionada y rebellious se ha presentado de muerte con una energía de curar--pero tomará toda su fe para aguantar los ensayos que aguardan a su y su familia ahora que ella ha hecho el Santo de Cabora.
