Book excerpt: "You are about to read stories keenly true to time and place, yet so universal in theme that they are timeless. Superstitious townspeople, greedy men, a young girl looking for fame and love, a conflicted priest, and a reluctant husband live out their follies in the dusty villages and teeming cities of rising Brazilian-American writer, Luana Monteiro's native, Northeastern Brazil." "A guitar-strumming, young girl triumphs over her male opponents in a competive ancient version of a poetry slam, only to find herself ensnared in a romantic trap. A luminous fish appears in an impoverished, desert village and proceeds to perform questionable miracles on its desperate citizens." "A handsome, sexually conflicted priest hears voices after drinking the water in a mining town. A city doctor finds that rural traditions get him into trouble of his own making. A young Brazilian girl enamored of American television discovers that the United States is more complex than Saturday morning cartoons."--BOOK JACKET.
