Teresa of the New World<\/a>
\nby Sharman Apt Russell (Author)<\/p>\n

Booktalk:<\/strong> In 1528, the real-life conquistador Cabeza de Vaca shipwrecked in the New World where he lived for eight years as a slave, trader, and shaman. In this lyrical weaving of history and myth, the adventurer takes his young daughter Teresa from her home in Texas to walk westward into the setting sun, their travels accompanied by miracles–visions and prophecies. But when Teresa reaches the outposts of New Spain, life is not what her father had promised. When a new epidemic of measles devastates the area, the sixteen-year-old sets off on her own journey. Now Teresa moves through a land stalked by Plague: smallpox as well as measles, typhus, and scarlet fever.<\/p>\n

Snippet:<\/strong>
\nShe could still hear the wise woman’s voice. She hadn’t understood then, when she was a child. She hadn’t realized that the wise woman had been talking to her, and not to her father. What you have lost will be restored to you.<\/em> Now Teresa had to return back to that village, back to that hill and crumbling adobe house. Now she had someplace to go.<\/p>\n
