As a helping of "down-home magical realism," this collection of 16
short stories explores the human spirit inherent in the bilingual,
bicultural world of the Texas-Mexico border. With a fresh sense of
humor and human understanding, these stories skillfully bridge the
gap between miracles and tragedies, prejudice and transcendence,
and oppression and liberation. From the comical exploration of the
hypocrisy expressed at funerals to the spiritual mission of a
magical tortilla, the collection draws upon a wide range of
emotions but comes together in a singular, powerful voice that
reflects the holiness found in everyday life.
