Book Synopsis
As a helping of down-home magical realism, this collection of 16 short stories explores the human spirit inherent in the bilingual, bicultural world of the Texas-Mexico border. With a fresh sense of humour and human understanding, these stories skilfully bridge the gap between miracles and tragedies, prejudice and transcendence, and oppression and liberation.
