This study focuses on reading the coming of age novels of Sandra Cisneros and Denise Chavez, the representative writers who led the renaissance of Chicana literature, in the frame of feminist spirituality. The two works, which share the grammar of Chicana Bildungsroman and the scale of the family saga, can be classified as representative spiritual feminist novels in that they realize the politics of Mujerista’s heroine narrative. While Caramelo depicts an aesthetic portrait of the Millennium Guadalupe through spiritual connection between a working-class indigenous grandmother and a half-sister, Face of an Angel symbolizes a strong portrait of the worker Mujerista, who embodies the matriarchal genealogy and the solidarity with the Kin-dom of Mother God. In both works, the universe of spiritual mestizaje, a space of fluid hybridity between indigenous spirituality and Catholicism, is foregrounded. However, while Caramelo focuses on the symbolism of Guadalupe, the ‘brown’ Goddess, and consecrates the soul of the Indian-Mestiza, Face of an Angel can be seen as maximizing Catholic aesthetics in the landscape of Mother God and alternative angels, represented as the ‘Blue’ House.
