The Hummingbird’s Daughter by Luis Alberto Urrea is an historical novel about the author’s distant relative, Teresita, set in Sonora, Mexico in the 1880’s. Teresita is a healer and becomes revered as a saint by her many followers. I thought this was an excellent book – beautifully researched and written – and I enjoyed it thoroughly.
