Pidre will go on to become a famous showman in the Anglo West whose main act, Simodecea, is Pidre's fearless, sharpshooting wife, who wrangles bears as part of his show. 1935: Luz 'Little Light' Lopez and her brother Diego work the carnival circuit in downtown Denver. Luz, is a tea leaf reader, and Diego is a snake charmer. One day, a pale-faced woman in white fur asks Luz for a reading, calling her by a name that only her brother knows. Later that night at a party downtown, Luz sees Diego dancing with this pale-faced woman, which results in a brawl with the local white supremacist group. Diego leaves town for cover and Luz is left trying to get justice for her brother and family. Merging two multi-generational storylines in Colorado, this is a novel of family love, secrets, and survival. With Fajardo-Anstine's immense capacity to render characters and paint vivid life, set against the Sangre de Cristo mountains, 'Woman of light' is full of the weight, richness, and complexities of mixed blood and mica clay. It delights like an Old Western, and inspires the hope embedded in histories yet-told."-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Prologue: The sleepy prophet and the child from nowhere -- Part 1: Little light ; La divisoria ; The Greeks ; The trouble with men ; Night owl ; To the edges ; A getaway car -- Part 2: The inner self ; Women without men ; Heat ; We should all be as happy as kings ; I heard you need a girl ; La Llorona ; The body snatchers of Bakersfield, California ; The red streets ; Three sisters ; Words into words ; The love story of Eleanor Anne ; Justice cannot see, but can she hear? ; The dressmaker ; Invitation only ; A game of cards ; A new vision -- Part 3: The sharpshooter Simodecea Salazar-Smith ; A life of her own ; Shelter from the storm ; A day without work ; Where the world registers -- Part 4: Simodecea's final shot ; The split sisters ; An animal named Night ; To the wedding ; El mariachi ; Portal ; Woman of light ; Diego's return. 650 0 $a Fortune-tellers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Mexican Americans $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Generations $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Visions $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Denver (Colo.) $y 20th century $v Fiction. 650 6 $a AmeÌricains d'origine mexicaine $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a GeÌneÌrations $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Visions $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 7 $a FICTION / Hispanic & Latino. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Indigenous. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Literary. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Diversity & Multicultural. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Fortune-tellers $2 fast 650 7 $a Generations $2 fast 650 7 $a Mexican Americans $2 fast 650 7 $a Visions $2 fast 651 7 $a Colorado $z Denver $2 fast 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 650 7 $a Family members. $2 homoit 650 7 $a Visions $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Race relations $v Fiction. $2 sears 651 7 $a Colorado $v Fiction. $2 sears 655 0 $a Historical fiction. 655 7 $a Novels $2 fast 655 7 $a Epic fiction $2 fast 655 7 $a Fiction $2 fast 655 7 $a Historical fiction $2 fast 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Epic fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romans eÌpiques. $2 rvmgf 655 7 $a Romans. $2 rvmgf 776 08 $i Online version: $a Fajardo-Anstine, Kali. $t Woman of light. $d New York : One World, 2022. $z 9780525511342 $w (DLC) 2021027960 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20240614081126.0 $n 12 $p +2 LP 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6A4FDB3C2A1811EF969C42E545ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
