Description: Spanning the twentieth century, "Cottonwood Saints" chronicles the lives of a New Mexico woman and her son, Michael. Margarita Juana Galvan was born in a lumber camp in 1913 and is brought up like a little princess in her grandparents hacienda. In contrast, Margarita's adult life is spent in depression-ridden Las Vegas, New Mexico.
