Wild Penance
Sandi Ault
It was a magnificent sight that Jamaica hopes to never see
again: a man, tied to a cross, his loincloth catching in the
wind as he plummeted down into the Rio Grande Gorge to his
death. That is, if he wasn’t dead already.
Ever since she learned about Los Penitentes, a secret,
ancient religious group that reenacts Jesus’
crucifixion and practices excessive penance, Jamaica’s
been fascinated, putting together a book of sketchings and
research. And this death in the Gorge seems to fit with
everything she has learned. But a haunted old priest warns
Jamaica to put down her pencil...
Her superiors wouldn’t mind if she kept her nose out
of things, either. But too many strange things are happening
for Jamaica to pay any mind. For one, her medicine teacher,
Momma Anna, has given her a cryptic assignment. And when
someone makes an attempt on her life, Jamaica sets out on a
fact-finding mission that could very well send her, like the
crucified man, over the edge...
