Injustices and hope in New Mexico. A deep and humor-filled narrative about family and roots.

It is Holy Week in the small town of Las Penas, New Mexico, and Amadeo Padilla, a thirty-three-year-old unemployed man, has been chosen to portray Jesus in the Good Friday procession. He prepares fervently for this role when his fifteen-year-old daughter, Angel, appears pregnant at his door, disrupting his plans for personal redemption. A few weeks from giving birth, the brave and lively Angel has run away from her mother's house, taking her life in an unexpected direction.

Vivid, tender, funny, and beautifully narrated, The Five Wounds covers the baby's first year of life, while five generations of the Padilla family converge, unforgettable characters in a miraculous debut novel.


“The characters in this fascinating novel are created with luminous and unforgettable details. The pace is perfect, as is the touch and care with which each scene unfolds. Kirstin Valdez Quade, by focusing on the truth of small moments, has managed to capture an entire world with clarity.” – Colm Tóibín
