The CrossFit Malibu Knitting Club invites you to read- The Hummingbird’s Daughter

In other parts, CrossFitters spend their spare time bowling, drinking beer, lifting MORE weights… we have book club. Last Friday’s 3pm class decided that this would be a great idea and so we are running with it. (for the record… we really should go bowling soon)

Our first selection features: The prizewinning writer Luis Alberto Urrea’s long-awaited novel is an epic mystical drama of a young woman’s sudden sainthood in late 19th-century Mexico. It is 1889, and civil war is brewing in Mexico. A 16-year-old girl, Teresita, the illegitimate but beloved daughter of the wealthy and powerful rancher Don Tomas Urrea, wakes from the strangest dream-a dream that she has died. Only it was not a dream. This passionate and rebellious young woman has arisen from death with a power to heal-but it will take all her faith to endure the trials that await her and her family now that she has become the Saint of Cabora. The Hummingbird’s Daughter is a vast, hugely satisfying novel of love and loss, joy and pain. 4.7/5 stars 

Get it on AUDIO, Amazon, or the public library (but if you do that it won’t be available in time to discuss the book in late March!)
