I am indebted to iconographer Robert Lentz for his images of Archbishop Oscar Romero and the Mother of the Disappeared. Numerous Chicano and feminist scholars, including David Carrasco and Deena Metzger, have shed new light on the history of spirituality. I am grateful for their work. Finally, I want to thank my parents, Ted and Dolores MartÃnez, for their faith; and Mary J. Vineyard and Valentina Cruz Dixon, for knowing a story when they see one.
