Her characters take risks in searching out the unique places where faith thrives for each of them -- a rundown hotel, the currents of Cabo San Lucas, the embrace of an ex-convict. And once again, she surrounds them with her elegant language and exquisite images\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ursula Hegi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Touchstone Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/05\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.28w x 0.38d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780743227162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHegi, Ursula:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eUrsula Hegi\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Worst Thing I've Done, Sacred Time\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHotel of the Saints\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Vision of Emma Blau\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTearing the Silence\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSalt Dancers\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eStones from the River\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFloating in My Mother's Palm\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eUnearned Pleasures and Other Stories\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eIntrusions\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eTrudi \u0026amp; Pia\u003c\/i\u003e.
