Dark Eyes, Lady Blue tells the story of Sister Mar&&&237;a of &&&193;greda&&&39;s remarkable life. Maria was born in Agreda, Spain, in 1602, and vowed there as a nun at age seventeen. From birth to her death in 1665, she never left the small town. Yet her accomplishments had a lasting impact in Spain and as far away as the American Southwest, where she is celebrated to this day.
Although cloistered in Agreda&&&39;s Monastery of the Immaculate Conception, Maria grew to be a renowned mystic, a widely read author, and an advisor to the King of Spain. She experienced religious ecstasy that inspired her visionary writings and - quite remarkably - communications with the Jumano Indians of what would later become the states of Texas and New Mexico. When Spanish missionaries met the Jumano Indians, their chief expressed a desire to be baptized because of the supernatural visits from the mystical ""lady in blue.""
This fresh telling of Maria&&&39;s story is one that will appeal to readers young and old and provides an unforgettable perspective on early American exploration of Texas and New Mexico.
