Bless Me Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya is a coming-of-age novel about Antonio Márez, a young boy in 1940s New Mexico navigating cultural identity, faith, and good vs. evil under the guidance of Ultima, a mystical curandera (healer). Antonio struggles between his parents’ opposing dreams for him—becoming a farmer or a vaquero—and explores indigenous spirituality (the golden carp) alongside Catholicism. The novel follows his journey as he witnesses violent deaths and learns to forge his own identity.
