About this book

Jamilet, a beautiful young woman is marred by a shockingly gruesome birthmark. She is shunned by the villagers in her Mexican village. In search of a medical salvation she crosses the border illegally to Los Angeles. She finds work at a mental hospital where she comes in contact with an elderly Spanish gentleman. The two of them form a spiritual bond that is more healing than modern medicine could ever be.
