Resumen
amilet is a beautiful young woman marred by a shockingly gruesome birthmark. It spills ominously over her back and down her legs, causing the villagers in her rural Mexican town to ostracize her. This angel with the devils mark escapes north to Los Angeles, crossing the border illegally with the hope of finding a miracle. After acquiring false documents, Jamilet finds work in a mental hospital. Her job is to care for a single patient, an elderly man from Spain, who is as disagreeable as he is mysterious. Jamilet is given strict orders to keep her distance, but when Señor Peregrino cleverly snags possession of her papers, he bargains with her; if she listens to his story, he will return her documents. Jamilet begrudgingly agrees and listens as he weaves a mystical and romantic tale of his journey along the legendary Camino de Santiago in Spain. By the time her companion finishes his story, Jamilet has found her miracle. And to her disbelief, its not the one shed been hoping for.
