Bookroo's summary

Josefina dreams of becoming a healer like her godmother, Tía Magdalena. But when a friend's life hangs in the balance after a snakebite, Josefina's skills are put to the ultimate test. Can she overcome her doubts and prove her worth, or will a past mistake shatter her dreams forever? As danger looms, Josefina must discover if she has what it takes to follow in Tía Magdalena's footsteps. This journey will reveal her true strength and the depth of her learning in ways she never imagined.
