In the first two chapters of the novel Jesusa expresses her deep spirituality. She has a very intricate spiritual awareness that is based not only on her present life but from two previous ones as well. From these previous lives Jesusa has protectors and visions that guide her in her present life. I am curious to find out how she came to practice this certain religion and what it will do for her in the future. Jesusa then begins to describe the beginning of her life in which the most significant event was the death of her mother. This sets the tone of the rest of her life. Jesusa is constantly trying to find her place in her family that was constantly changing after that. Jesusa’s childhood is a confused mess of sisters, brothers, stepmothers and her own uncertain self identity.
Nice. Did you read the intro?
