  Esperanza's Box of Saints is a magical, humorous and passion-filled novel about a beautiful young widow's odyssey in search of her missing child - a mission that takes her from a humble Mexican village to the brothels of Tijuana and a rarely seen side of Los Angeles. It begins when Esperanza's favourite saint, San Judas Tadeo, appears to her in her oven door and tells her that her daughter is not dead from a mysterious and contagious disease, as the hospital have claimed, but missing. She embarks on a journey that tests her faith, teaches her the ways of the world and transforms her from a fervently religious innocent to an independent, sexual and passionately devout woman.
