Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Josefina is pleased and proud when her godmother, Tía Magdalena, asks for her help with springtime chores. Tía Magdalena is a respected healer in the village, and Josefina hopes to become a healer just like her someday. Then one day at Tía Magdalena?s house, Josefina makes an awful mistake that shatters her hopes. She?s sure Tía Magdalena will never teach her now! But when Josefina visits her Pueblo Indian friend Mariana, a terrifying adventure shows her just how much she?s already learned.
"Book four"--P. [1] of cover.
Josefina hopes to become a "curandera" or healer like Tía Magdalena, and she is tested just before her tenth birthday when a friend receives a potentially fatal snakebite.
