About the Book

The Coffiner of Escondido


The Coffiner of Escondido is an enchanting narrative following the life of Lourdes Pena, a gifted artisan and clairvoyant residing on the outskirts of a devout village in nineteenth-century Mexico. Lourdes possesses a unique skill--crafting intricate coffins adorned with scenes shown to her by the spirits surrounding her. Her creative process fuses Italian Renaissance art's elegance with Mexican folk art's soulful vibrancy, resulting in coffins that transcend mere functionality.


Yet Lourdes's journey is anything but ordinary. As a woman with unconventional talents, she grapples with isolation and prejudice in her tight-knit community. Her only companions are her devoted mother, a loyal dog, and an ardent suitor. When the local padre takes a keen interest in her, admiration blends with moral scrutiny, casting a complex shadow over her already challenging existence.


The Coffiner of Escondido masterfully weaves a captivating tapestry of creativity, spirituality, and indomitable strength. Lourdes's tale is a timeless exploration of the human spirit's resilience against societal norms and marginalization. Cummins skillfully merges historical authenticity with engaging prose, inviting readers to experience a world where art becomes a conduit for deeper connections and personal empowerment.


Lourdes Pena's journey is an inspiring reminder that the human spirit can flourish even in the face of adversity, leaving an indelible mark on our histories and our hearts.
