Faith Healer of Olive Avenue

Manuel Munoz's dazzling collection is set in a Mexican-American neighborhood in central California--a place where misunderstandings and secrets shape people's lives. From a set of triplets with three distinct fates to a father who places his hope--and his life savings--in the hands of a faith healer, the characters in these stories cross paths in unexpected ways. As they do, they reveal a community that is both embracing and unforgiving, and they discover a truth about the nature of home: you always live with its history. Munoz is an explosive new talent who joins the ranks of such acclaimed authors as Junot Diaz and Daniel Alarcon.Munoz, Manuel is the author of 'Faith Healer of Olive Avenue ', published 2007 under ISBN 9781565125322 and ISBN 1565125320.
