Description: Paperback, 256 Pages.- Where Latin American fiction is concerned, miracles happen every day. Escandón's first novel fulfills this expectation on its first page when Esperanza Díaz tells her parish priest that San Judas Tadeo appeared to her in her oven to tell her that her 13-year-old daughter was not dead as she was told by doctors after a routine tonsillectomy. The mother thinks that her daughter might had be sold into white slavery. Esperanza embarks on a picaresque journey that will take her from her little Mexican town to the brothels of Tijuana and eventually to Los Angeles. In addition to writing both English and Spanish versions of the novel, the author also wrote the screenplay for a film . All in all, this is a book guaranteed to charm and amuse.
