In a border town in California of
Latina and Indigenous culture, Mal works to survive raising two children while
dealing with the past trauma of her sister going missing. Things come to a head
when another young woman disappears and then Mal's own daughter vanishes. Combining
elements of Mexican folklore and the very real reality of missing Indigenous
girls, Givhan delivers a story of a mother's determination coming face to face
with those in power and entitlement.
I enjoyed this book, but also
found it frustrating. And I am not sure why. If you read it, let me know what
you think.
