Yet Another New Book



My apologies. I was supposed to post while I was teaching at the MFA, but Captain Whidbey Inn had a weak Wi-Fi connection.



The idea for this book began with a comparison between Our Lady of Guadalupe and the Aztec goddess, Tonantzin. Yet, my editor preferred a retelling of the Virgin of Guadalupe's apparitions to Juan Diego. Still, you may read about the similarities between the virgin and the goddess in the author's note.

Congratulations, Carmen! Who is the publisher? I agree with Lauren, the cover is beautiful.

I am very excited for you, Carmen. I love how so many of your books teach me about things or places in the world that I don't know about, and so do in an entertaining/artful way. I can't wait to hear/read/see your next projects!
