Anne Elise Urrutia is a writer and explorer of family history, especially the life, work, and legacy of her great grandfather, Dr. Aureliano Urrutia, a renowned surgeon who came to San Antonio in 1914 as an exile of the Mexican Revolution.

Her first book, Miraflores: San Antonio’s Mexican Garden of Memory, tells the story of her great grandfather’s powerful message of cultural heritage as communicated through an endangered landscape that was once a marvelous garden.

Now Urrutia continues her journey as she explores other aspects of her family’s legacy in the city’s medical history and how their Mexico City past influences the twists and turns of generations as they build new lives in the United States. She also explores how that legacy informs her own life.
