Later she creates survival maps for border crossers and paints murals at the Casa de los Olvidados, a refuge in Sonora run by the traditional healer Juana of God. These darkly funny tales, focusing on Mexican-American, Euro-American, and Mexican characters, feature visionary experiences, ghosts, faith healers, a deer's head that speaks, a dog who channels spirits of the dead--and a young woman whose drawings begin to create realities instead of just reflecting them."--Publisher's description. 505 0 $a The dead child bride -- In the precarious city -- The astonished dead -- ¿QueÌ horas son, mi corazoÌn? -- End of days -- Dear Juana of God -- Jillian speaks -- Lost in the Thorney desert -- Los ninÌos perdidos. 650 0 $a Mexican Americans $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Mute persons $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Ability in children $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Magic $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Psychics $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Healers $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Ability in children. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00794418 650 7 $a Healers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00952697 650 7 $a Magic. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01005468 650 7 $a Mexican Americans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01019072 650 7 $a Mute persons. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01031157 650 7 $a Psychics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01081230 651 0 $a Mexican-American Border Region $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Arizona $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Mexico $v Fiction. 651 7 $a Arizona. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204820 651 7 $a Mexico. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01211700 651 7 $a North America $z Mexican-American Border Region. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239966 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Paranormal fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921727 655 7 $a Paranormal fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117013117.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1B9B88EE78F711ECAF30597D2FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
