Description

The interconnected stories that comprise The Faith Healer of Olive Avenue are the work of a young author who has been heralded as 'gifted and sensitive,' 'a serious artist who can spin dazzling stories,' and 'an extraordinary talent.' They mark a major step forward in the career of an explosive new talent who is rapidly joining the ranks of such acclaimed authors as Junot DÃaz, Robert Olen Butler, John Rechy, and Daniel AlarcÃ³n.

From a set of triplets with three distinct fates, to a young single father forced to return home, to a woman fleeing the effect of rumors, to a father who places his hope—and his life savings—in the hands of a faith healer, the recurring characters in this collection cross paths in unexpected ways, revealing the neighborhood as an entity that is both embracing and unforgiving. For MuÃ±oz understands an inescapable truth about the nature of home: you always live with its history.
