When the people of Agua Mansa are hopeless, they turn to the healing power of Perla Portillo and the herbal remedies and religious items she carries in her shop, the Botánica Oshún. Weaving together the dramas of her customers — from a young woman determined to lose weight, to a drag queen turned parent and an immigrant boy fearful for his life — Still Water Saints chronicles an eventful year in Perla’s life and how she not only changes her customers but how they change her.
