• Review:   Urrea's reading of this piece of historical fiction is magnificent.  I felt like I was listening to an epic poem rather than prose.  The story of Saint Theresita is stirring and spiritual.  It compels the reader into the world of Mexican mystery, religion, history, superstition, and faith, just as Theresita compels more and more followers and believers.  I might have given this novel four stars, but the reading itself merits five!
