Teresita is not an ordinary girl. Born of an illiterate, poor Indian mother,
she knows little about her past or her future. She has no idea that her father
is Don Tomas Urrea, the wild and rich owner of a vast ranch in the Mexican state
of Sinaloa. She has no idea that Huila, the elderly healer who takes Teresita
under her wing, knows secrets about her destiny. And she has no idea that soon
all of Mexico will rise in revolution, crying out her name.
When Teresita is but a teenager, learning from Huila the way plants can cure
the sick and prayer can move the earth, she discovers an even greater gift: she
has the power to heal. Her touch, like warm honey, melts pain and suffering. But
such a gift can be a burden, too. Before long, the Urrea ranch is crowded with
pilgrims and with agents of a Mexican government wary of anything that might
threaten its power.
