In a Village Far from Home
My Years Among the Cora Indians of the Sierra Madre
by Catherine Palmer Finerty
"Soon after moving to Guadalajara, Finerty found herself visiting small settlements hidden deep in Mexico's tropical mountains. It was in Jesus Maria - so isolated that one could get there only by mule or small plane - that she found her new calling as the village nurse.".
"With its bugs and heat, no phones or running water, Jesus Maria was hardly a place to enjoy one's retirement, but Finerty was quickly charmed by its community of Cora Indians and mestizos. In a Village Far from Home richly describes this remote village with its festivals, traditions, and a cast of memorable characters you'd expect in a novel. Finerty's story takes readers deep into the Sierra Madre to reveal its true treasure: the soul of a people."--BOOK JACKET.
