Juan Francisco Pastor

Sonora Juan Francisco Pastor 第1 版本

Maria is from Antigua, Guatemala. Her best friend in the world, Rosaria, is from San Salvador, El Salvador. Maria is 17, Rosaria is 16. They decide to go to the promised land just north of the Mexican border. The ?coyotes? guarantee them safe passage across the Sonoran Desert and the border, for a small fee, of course. There is a large wall at the border, and a watchtower. Shots are fired from the watchtower. Rosaria dies. Maria is shot and wounded, and spends the night laying at the base of a Saguaro Cactus in the Sonora. She is visited by a strange old woman who calls herself the Virgen Maria, and who insists on calling the young Maria, Pequeña Maria. The Virgen Maria tells Pequeña that she will be visited by an old wolf bitch, who will help her survive the night, and an old hermit who will rescue her the next day. The old Maria tells the young Maria that she has been chosen. She is pure. It is her destiny to ?crush the serpent?. And by doing so, Pequeña will change history. And so our story about the strength of the human spirit begins?
