I most enjoyed the story of her birth in the seething cesspool south of Texas.
At that time, mexico was not the heaven-on-earth it is today. It wasn't yet superior to America.
nadin had not yet arrived.
People didn't have telephones, or any other means of modern communication.
So, as nadin describes it, a group of her relatives followed a strange bright star to find the place of her birth.
They found baby nadin in a barn, strangely enough, and brought her gifts.
