Luis Alberto Urrea
Daughter, the historical novel, Queen of America (Little, Brown and Company, $25.99), portrays Teresita, beloved healer, who flees the Tomochic rebellion only to be claimed as the spiritual leader of the Mexican Revolution. Besieged by pilgrims and pursued by assassins, Teresita embarks on a journey through turn-of-the-century industrial America-New York, San Francisco, St. Louis. "Fiercely romantic and at times heartbreaking but also full of humor," says Library Journal. Urrea, 2005 Pulitzer Prize finalist for nonfiction and member of the Latino Literature Hall of Fame, is the best-selling author of 13 books.
