Colfax Avenue: Multiple award-winning author Luis Urrea will read from and sign the new paperback edition of his bestselling novel Queen of America ($14.99 Little, Brown). At turns heartbreaking, uplifting, fiercely romantic, and riotously funny, this novel tells the unforgettable story of a young woman coming of age and finding her place in a new world. Beginning where Urrea’s bestselling The Hummingbird’s Daughter left off, Queen of America finds young Teresita Urrea, beloved healer and “Saint of Cabora,” with her father in 1892 Arizona. But, besieged by pilgrims in desperate need of her healing powers, and pursued by assassins, she has no choice but to flee the borderlands and embark on an extraordinary journey into the heart of turn-of-the-century America.  Can’t make it to the signing?
