From the author of For Brown Girls with Sharp Edges and Tender Hearts , a celebration of the women at the heart of Latine families "This love letter to intergenerational relationships opens every window and door to one's heart. A healing work of art." --Yesika Salgado, author of Corazón Born into a large, close-knit family in Nicaragua, Prisca Dorcas Mojica Rodríguez grew up surrounded by strong, kind, funny, sensitive, resilient, judgmental, messy, beautiful women. Whether blood relatives or chosen family, these tías and primas fundamentally shaped her view of the world--and so did the labels that were used to talk about them, from the tía loca, to the pretty prima, to the divorced tía. In Tías and Primas , Mojica Rodríguez explores these archetypes, lovingly illustrated by Josie Del Castillo. Fearlessly grappling with the effects of intergenerational trauma, centuries of colonization, and sexism, this book attempts to heal the pain that is so often embodied in female family lines. Tías and Primas is a deeply felt love letter to family, community, and Latinas everywhere.
