Bless Me, Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya is a coming of age story set in New Mexico. Antonio Marez is six years old when Ultima, a curandera, one who heals with plants and magic, comes to live with his family.
As he grows up in rural New Mexico and struggles to fulfill his mother's and father's dreams, he is guided on an inner journey by Ultima. A compelling book that sheds light on New Mexican culture and landscape; a wonderful story and a worthwhile read.
