"Raised by her mother and grandmother, in an all-female home with not enough affection but more than enough stories to go around, Delmira Ulloa comes into adulthood with a wicked sense of humor and a delightful imagination.
Agustini is not an ordinary village - Delmira grows up in a world where she sees her grandmother floating above the bed when she sleeps; where her grandmother remembers a time when stones turned into water; where during the dry season one can purchase torrential rains at a traveling fair; where her family's elderly serving woman develops stigmata, then disappears completely.
As Delmira becomes a woman she will search for the missing stranger who fathered her, and in choosing her own allegiances make a choice that will force her to leave home forever."--BOOK JACKET.
