Salvation Mountain

<p>Very loosely based on Lukes' Gospel Salvation Mountain: poses the question: What if Jesus' second coming were a Latina woman? The narrative weaves together the following themes: three female generation; immigration; and angels.</p><p></p><p>Women: Grandmother Gabriella an indigenous woman managing a growing family; Mother Maria raped pregnant with Jessica and a disgrace to her family. And Daughter Jessica a nurse who might represent Jesus Second Coming.</p><p></p><p>Every immigrant has a different story be it a plane ride to L.A. or death in the desert. Jessica's journey had some issues but with English fluency and some money she and enjoyed relatively easy travel.</p><p></p><p>Divine intervention: Angels were there when needed. We are left with the question: Do we find strength and wisdom within ourselves? Or were our behavior and ideas something that just hit us from the outside? Was Jessica's journey a singularity of blood and love or a miracle of wit valor and luck.</p>
