For the Wixárika tribe, the White Rock of Anna Hope’s title is where life on earth began. It involved taking their daughter to Mexico to give thanks.”The White Rock opens and ends with the unnamed writer’s visit. Her situation and outlook reflect the author’s life, Hope herself having undergone the same rituals that resulted in pregnancy and subsequent journey of thanksgiving. Although the foundation of The White Rock is spiritual, the themes underlying it are far from abstract. The various stories in the White Rock touch on those who came before or who will follow, creating a chain of sorts.
