Kissing the Virgin's Mouth

Guadalupe Magdalena Molina Vásquez -- wife scoundrel courtesan mother -- is full of contradictions: she believes in love but is suspicious of men; she rejects religion but admires the Virgin Mary; she respects tradition while breaking all the rules. Here in the Golden Zone of Teatán Mexico Magda tells her extraordinary life story -- from a poor Mexican barrio to American affluence from wide-eyed childhood to worldly courtesan life from full-blooded youth to oncoming blindness -- and bewitchingly imparts the hard-earned wisdom she has gained through the years.
