"In Madre Maria's prose, a down-to-earth treatment of daily life both on a provincial hacienda and in a cloistered convent moves into passages rendering deep mystical absorption.
As a charismatic woman living according to Counter Reformation guidelines in the New World, Maria de San Jose, through her writings, illuminates how class, race, gender - even birth order and convent prestige - helped shape the roles people played in society and the ways in which they contributed to community belief and identity."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Details
First Sentence
"This notebook is not numbered in the same hand as the other ones, where the numbering is my Father Confessor's, Fray Placido de Olmedo, may he rest in God's peace; for it was he who delivered this and the other notebooks to the Guardian Priest of our Father Saint Francis, the very Reverend Father Fray Hipolito de Lorenzana, to examine them and see if they contained any deceit of the enemy."
