Women's Fiction
At turns heartbreaking, uplifting, fiercely romantic, and
riotously funny, QUEEN OF AMERICA tells the unforgettable
story of a young woman coming of age and finding her place
in a new world. Beginning where Luis Alberto Urrea's
bestselling The Hummingbird's Daughter left off, QUEEN OF
AMERICA finds young Teresita Urrea, beloved healer and
"Saint of Cabora," with her father in 1892 Arizona. But,
besieged by pilgrims in desperate need of her healing
powers, and pursued by assassins, she has no choice but to
flee the borderlands and embark on an extraordinary journey
into the heart of turn-of-the-century America. Teresita's passage will take her to New York, San Francisco,
and St. Louis, where she will encounter European royalty,
Cuban poets, beauty queens, anxious immigrants and grand
tycoons-and, among them, a man who will force Teresita to
finally ask herself the ultimate question: is a saint
allowed to fall in love?
