'Woman of Light' delves deep into the heart of the Indigenous Chicano experience through the tapestry of one family's struggle, endurance, and resilience. In 1930s Denver, Luz Lopez, who is despised and dispossessed, leans on her abilities as a seer to unravel the tangled threads of fate. As a tea leaf reader and laundress abandoned by society, she embarks on a profound journey that reveals the hidden stories and silenced voices of her lineage. Through Luz's eyes, the novel paints a portrait not only of her own family's saga but also of the wider displacement and resistance of her people, encapsulating generations of love, betrayal, and the fierce will to survive.
