The Hummingbird's Daughter by Luis Alberto Urrea
A sweeping, lyrical tale set in late-19th-century northern Mexico that follows a girl from a poor, devout family who emerges after a near-death illness with uncanny healing powers and prophetic visions; as word of her gifts spreads she becomes both a spiritual beacon for the dispossessed and a dangerous threat to local authorities and the Church, drawing followers, inciting unrest, and forcing her to confront the costs of fame, faith, and resistance amid poverty, injustice, and folklore.
