Samenvatting

When nine-year-old Roman Rodriguez learns that his father has suffered a life-threatening injury in Iraq, it changes his life forever. While his mother and little sister travel to Germany to be with Roman's father at a military hospital, he is sent to El Puerto, a small New Mexico village to stay with his grandparents. There he confronts doubt and regret about himself and his family. Roman grows angry when he discovers his mother and grandmother are keeping his father's true condition a secret. He turns to his grandfather for answers. Grandpa Joe explains that three constants in his life have helped him make sense of tragedy: his faith, his family and the land. Now, Roman must grapple with his worst fears about his dad as he and Grandpa Joe make the Good Friday pilgrimage to "El Santuario de Chimayo," a sacred site in northern New Mexico said to have healing powers. A native New Mexican, Sue Picco spent nearly 30 years in education as a high school teacher and administrator. She has made the Good Friday pilgrimages to "El Santuario de Chimayo" and Tome Hill many times. "A pilgrimage is a very personal response to life's struggles and joys. We are all "peregrinos" or pilgrims trying to make sense of our tragedies, our struggles and our happiness," Sue says. She has experienced military deployment as a spouse and as a mother. She lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico's South Valley where she writes and practices small-scale sustainable agriculture."

Hoe controleren en plaatsen wij reviews? Hoe controleren en plaatsen wij reviews?

Negatief, positief, neutraal: we zetten een review altijd online. We controleren wel eerst of ’ie voldoet aan onze reviewvoorwaarden en niet nep is. We controleren ook of ’ie is geschreven door iemand die het artikel heeft gekocht via bol.com en zetten dit er dan bij. De controles gebeuren automatisch, al kijken er soms mensen mee. Bol.com betaalt niet voor reviews. Als een reviewer door een andere partij is vergoed, staat dit in de review zelf.
