An urban woman artist arrives in a small southwestern town near the Mexican border at the invitation of the town priest. She has come to paint murals in his church, not knowing that the church has burned down in a catastrophic fire. The artist becomes the catalyst for the town's release of its collective guilt, allowing the rebuilding of the church and a truce between the Catholic priest and the town's old woman healer. In the process she faces her own terrifying nightmares, their source and the resolution of her sexual identity. Send My Roots Rain is a wonderfully engaging, fast-paced, brilliantly written novel. -- Midwest Book Review
