This is a Latina version of the life of Mary that twill turn traditional perspectives around. Maria is a woman most passionate and full of life, curious, endearing, tender, kind, direct, and down to earth. She is filled with wonder at how God has blessed her at the Annunciation; stalwart at the difficulties she and Jose encounter; completely supportive of the public ministry of her son, Jesus; heavy with grief when he is killed; resolute with mission during the time that follows the Resurrection.
