Candela Desantos is a confirmed spinster and thereby, designated mother's care-giver in the ancient Spanish tradition. While keeping psychic company with blasphemous Virgins, grinning rattlesnakes, and saints real enough to be street people, Candela believes she is falling prey to the hereditary insanity affecting only the women on the distaff side of the family. When word spreads about her healing powers, she is glorified as a saint and hounded for cures and miracles. But when her popularity attracts the attention of the Church, she becomes the subject of a modern-day witch-hunt, spearheaded by a priest who has lost his faith. And to complicate matters, a devilishly handsome stranger is determined to seduce her...
