In confrontations with fraught matrilineal lines, absent or abusive fathers, and the effects of historical violence, these women and girls navigate a male-dominated world where they rely on a resilient mujer network to get them through sometimes supernatural obstacles. In visceral, embodied prose, Fragoza's imperfect characters are drawn with an authentic, sympathetic tenderness as they struggle against circumstances and conditions designed to defeat them. A young woman returns home from college, only to pick up exactly where she left off: a smart girl in a rundown town with no future. A mother reflects on the pain and pleasures of being inexorably consumed by her small daughter, whose penchant for ingesting grandma's letters has extended to taking bites of her actual flesh. A brother and sister watch anxiously as their distraught mother takes an ax to their old furniture, and then to the backyard fence, until finally she attacks the family's beloved lime tree. Victories are excavated from the rubble of personal hardship, and women's wisdom is brutally forged from the violence of history that continues to unfold on both sides of the US-Mexico border"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Latin Americans $z United States $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Hispanic American women $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Mexican-American Border Region $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft. 941 $a 5 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117032927.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010024518.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20210702013058.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20210602011613.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20210508010126.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A61120DCAFC211EBAF585BBC28ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
