Magdalena Montoya is the godmother and aunt of Josefina Montoya. Tía Magdalena is a curandera (a traditional Mexican cultural folk healer), and her job makes her one of most respected women in the village. People come to her for care when injured or ill and she always knows what to do and knows more about healing than anyone. She is unmarried and does not appear to have ever been so. She is patient and kind and full of advice and understanding. Like many women of the time, she is illiterate and cannot read and write, but keeps her knowledge in her head and is capable of passing it along. Tía Magdalena has a special bond with Josefina both as her paternal aunt and godmother; Josefina and her sisters often go to her for advice and support. When she learns that Josefina wants to learn how to be a curandera and follow in her path, she helps train Josefina in the healing arts.
