In a great loss to the literary world, Award-winning author Rudolfo Anaya has died at the age of 82 on Sunday, June 28. This icon was considered to be a founding father of Chicano Literature. "Michelle Lujan Grisham tweeted Tuesday. 'His life’s work amounts to an incredible contribution to the great culture and fabric of our state — not only through his prodigious literary contributions but through his decades as an educator at the University of New Mexico.'”

Winner of the Premio Quinto Sol National Chicano Literary Award -- Antonio Marez is six years old when Ultima comes to stay with his family in New Mexico. She is a curandera, one who cures with herbs and magic. Under her wise wing, Tony will test the bonds that tie him to his people and discover himself in the pagan past, in his father's wisdom, and in his mother's Catholicism. And at each life turn, there is Ultima, who delivered Tony into the world -- and will nurture the birth of his soul.
