"Soon after moving to Guadalajara, Finerty found herself visiting small settlements hidden deep in Mexico's tropical mountains. It was in Jesus Maria - so isolated that one could get there only by mule or small plane - that she found her new calling as the village nurse.". "With its bugs and heat, no phones or running water, Jesus Maria was hardly a place to enjoy one's retirement, but Finerty was quickly charmed by its community of Cora Indians and mestizos. In a Village Far from Home richly describes this remote village with its festivals, traditions, and a cast of memorable characters you'd expect in a novel. Finerty's story takes readers deep into the Sierra Madre to reveal its true treasure: the soul of a people."--BOOK JACKET.
