Description
In the small New Mexico town of Las Penas, unemployed Amadeo Padilla is preparing to portray Jesus in the Good Friday procession when his fifteen-year-old daughter, Angel, arrives pregnant and in need of a home. As Angel navigates early motherhood and Amadeo struggles to become the father she needs, the baby’s first year draws five generations of the Padilla family into one another’s orbit. Tender, darkly funny, and deeply observant, this emotionally resonant novel explores family loyalty, faith, forgiveness, and the imperfect ways people try to care for—and save—one another.
