Publisher Annotation: A collection of 35 bold, important, and groundbreaking essays and poems by immigrants, refugees, and dreamers, including award-winning writers, artists, and activists, that illuminate the experience of living without documents. During this time of political instability and uncertainty, this collection of essays, poetry, and art aims to shift the nation's collective imagination of migrants and refugees toward one rooted in humanity and justice. The writers of this anthology will change the perception of themselves and their communities through storytelling and art, to loudly and proudly declare that, here and everywhere, they are human despite border militarization, mass detention and draconian anti-immigrant legislation. Here, they speak of their experience, not only dealing with their current immigration status, but in a nuanced reflection of their own pre-migration existence and their collective hunger for a future without borders. These stories will take the reader on a journey through childhood memories, family anecdotes, and dreams of reuniting with parents on the other side. Other stories will capture what is often not discussed, such as the moment one decides to leave the US to seek a new life elsewhere, after decades of living as an undocumented immigrant in the United States, being processed in a detention center as a transmigrant, and mourning for imagined homelands. Some stories will have the layered complexities of being black and migrant, or reflect the angst of aging outside of DACA, but all stories will converge at the intersections of race, class, gender, nationality, sexuality, political beliefs, and reproductive rights. Like dandelion seeds, these stories will germinate a sense of urgency, joy, hope, mourning and perseverance, taking root in the hardest of soil, showing what can flourish despite adverse conditions.

Publisher Annotation: Homemade Beauty Secrets & Remedies’ is far more than just a DYI beauty guide, but a book that will reach & appeal to all Latin Americans alike alluding to one of things that binds us together: the remedies & wisdom we inherit from our families & the wisdom, & different beauty solutions that are unique to each & every one of our countries. There is not a beauty book in Spanish that marries both science and natural beauty worlds together, written by an leading expert in the field. This book will allude to something deeper than physical beauty--it’s a celebration of our past (ancestral wisdom) & culture. It’ll touch on our nostalgia (the things we learned from our ‘abuelas’ (grandmothers) once upon a time & continue to be passed down to family & friends, and simultaneously celebrate our individual & more ‘global’ Latin American identity, both within & outside of Latin America (the Diáspora, in the U.S.) The fact that it will cover both natural beauty remedies + cultural wisdom means that the title can appeal to different age groups and readers in the USA and the Spanish-speaking world. The book contains a series of recipes for the skin, body, hair and nails, which can be made based on accessible, low-cost natural products that are normally found in almost any person's kitchen or in the closest supermarket. These recipes and accompanying beauty tips seek to honor and perpetuate the simplicity and effectiveness of home remedies used for generations in the homes of Latin American countries, which are now part of the cultural heritage of the US Latino community. With accessible and scientifically validated content, this book spreads the idea that beauty is within everyone's reach, regardless of age or skin color, and without the need to resort to expensive treatments.

Publisher Annotation: Two crazy people explain to you that going to therapy is not crazy. Through their successful podcast, ¿Puedo hablar! (Can I Talk?!), Enrique Aparicio (Esnórquel) and Beatriz Cepeda (Perra de Satán) break taboos and deal naturally with issues such as anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and even suicidal thinking. The book Can I Talk About My Mental Health?! is a bridge that they want to build for all the people who sense that there is something wrong with their life, but do not dare to ask for help. It is an example of two people for whom therapy has been fundamental and it can serve as an impulse for those who know that they must fix something inside their head, even if they don't know exactly what it is. “For a long time, I believed that suffering was an intrinsic part of life, a natural consequence of getting older. In therapy I began to undo the fragile house of cards on which I had built my world vision: I discovered that being gay and fat were not only two nice conditions but parts of my identity that had exposed me to a series of violence that prejudiced me. Professional help gave me the fundamental tools to face all of this. That's why I want you to go to therapy as soon as possible if you think you need it.” –Enrique Aparicio, Esnórquel “When I started to gain weight, my life changed completely. I went from being a girl with no problems to one with a very big problem. Our society makes girls believe that gaining weight is something very serious that they must fight against. When I went to the doctor and complained about my nerves, since I didn't know what anxiety was, I explained that I suffered panic attacks, very frequent headaches, and other symptoms. The only answer I received was: You must lose weight, play sports, and eat less. I ended up developing an eating disorder. That is why I have told my story and have written this book, to make it easier for other people”. –Beatriz Cepeda, Perra de Satán.

Publisher Annotation: From bestselling, National Book Award-winning author Elizabeth Acevedo comes her first novel for adults, the story of one Dominican-American family told through the voices of its women as they await a gathering that will forever change their lives. Flor has a gift: she can predict, to the day, when someone will die. So when she decides she wants a living wake--a party to bring her family and community together to celebrate the long life she's led--her sisters are surprised. Has Flor forseen her own death, or someone else's? Does she have other motives? She refuses to tell her sisters, Matilde, Pastora, and Camila. But Flor isn't the only person with secrets. Matilde has tried for decades to cover the extent of her husband's infidelity, but she must now confront the true state of her marriage. Pastora is typically the most reserved sister, but Flor's wake motivates this driven woman to solve her sibling's problems. Camila is the youngest sibling, and often the forgotten one, but she's decided she no longer wants to be taken for granted. And the next generation, cousins Ona and Yadi, face tumult of their own: Yadi is reuniting with her first love, who was imprisoned when they were both still kids; Ona is married for years and attempting to conceive. Ona must decide whether it's worth it to keep trying--to have a child, and the anthropology research that's begun to feel lackluster. Spanning the three days prior to the wake, Family Lore traces the lives of each of the Marte women, weaving together past and present, Santo Domingo and New York City. Told with Elizabeth Acevedo's inimitable and incandescent voice, this is an indelible portrait of sisters and cousins, aunts and nieces--one family's journey through their history, helping them better navigate all that is to come.
