Jamilet is a beautiful young woman marred by a shockingly gruesome birthmark that spills over her back and down her legs like a hideous cape of blood. She is shunned by the villagers of her rural Mexican town and escapes illegally across the border to Los Angeles in search of medical salvation.
After acquiring false documents, Jamilet finds work at a mental hospital where she is assigned to look after disagreeable and mysterious Señor Peregrino. She has strict orders to keep her distance, but when Peregrino cleverly snags possession of her papers, Jamilet begrudgingly agrees to listen to his story in order to win them back. Together they return to the days of his youth, when he embarked upon a mystical and romantic journey along Spain's legendary Road to Santiago.
Jamilet and Señor Peregrino forge a spiritual bond that is more healing to them both than modern medicine could ever be.
Have a good read!
