About this audiobook
TO BE FREE, WE MUST LEARN TO FLY.
Tere Sánchez has always known who she was: a professor, a wife, a mother, and a friend. But when her husband dies unexpectedly, she finds herself completely broken. Taking a leave from the university, Tere hopes that she can mourn her husband and get back on her feet, but instead, she spends a year consumed by grief.
Until the day she levitates.
Suddenly, Tere’s life is thrown into disarray, and the repeated incidents of levitation not only make her question her sanity but also put her in danger. She decides she will do anything to stop them. So when she’s reminded that her family is related to the renowned levitating mystic Saint Teresa of Ávila, she leaves the refuge of her home and travels to Spain, hoping to find answers. But saints can be elusive, and not all answers are easily found. Tere will soon have to decide whether to remain shrouded in her grief or open her heart to a world where we need no wings to fly ...
“There is a wonderfully compelling authority on each and every page here, one borne from hard-earned wisdom, the kind that can only bloom from hardship and loss. But Ann Dávila Cardinal is able to capture all of this with humor and life-loving passion and poetic grace. Cardinal is the real deal, and once again, her fine writing soars.”—Andre Dubus III, New York Times bestselling author of House of Sand and Fog
