It's Holy Week in the small town of Las Penas New Mexico and thirty-three-year-old unemployed Amadeo Padilla has been given the part of Jesus in the Good Friday procession. He is preparing feverishly for this role when his fifteen-year-old daughter Angel shows up pregnant on his doorstep and disrupts his plans for personal redemption. With weeks to go until her due date tough ebullient Angel has fled her mother's house setting her life on a startling new path. Vivid tender funny and beautifully rendered The Five Wounds spans the baby's first year as five generations of the Padilla family converge: Amadeo's mother Yolanda reeling from a recent discovery Angel's mother Marissa whom Angel isn't speaking to and disapproving Tíve Yolanda's uncle and keeper of the family's history. Each brings expectations that Amadeo who often solves his problems with a beer in his hand doesn't think he can live up to. The Five Wounds is a miraculous debut novel from a writer whose stories have been hailed as legitimate masterpieces (New York Times). Kirstin Valdez Quade conjures characters that will linger long after the final page bringing to life their struggles to parent children they may not be equipped to save.
