EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT
Autor: Nayeli Pereznegrón
We often hear or say “everything will be alright” as a form of encouragement when someone is going through hardship. However, have we ever really thought about who we are putting our trust in? This phrase becomes much more meaningful when said by a two-year old boy. At age one, Luis Pablo was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia m7, a very aggressive form of cancer which presented a big challenge to his doctors. His case was always considered high risk and defied all medical standards. The need for blood and platelet donors motivated Luis Pablo’s parents to share his story on social media. This started a movement of love and solidarity that made everyone involved understand that we can only be certain that everything will be alright when we fully trust God and put everything in His hands, because it is all part of a perfect plan.

Love, Starboy
Autor: Henry Lyra
Starboy just graduated high school and was on his way to college with his best friend, Moonkid. That’s until a tragic car crash and a head injury sent Starboy to a coma and then permanent brain damage. His personality changed, slowly regressing to babyhood. He begins writing letters to Moonkid telling him how he’s regressing every day. Suddenly college and grown-up’s life are out the window with his developing infantile behavior. His life now revolves around diaper changes, baby bottles, toys, cartoons, and spoon-feeding as every day he acts more like an infant. Those letters and his new relationship with his family and friends help him realize that being a baby might not be the worst thing ever. Maybe it can be a blessing in disguise.

Autor: Diane Gonzales Bertrand
Número de Páginas: 96In the title story, Lucinda hatches a clever plan to get her boyfriend back and is crushed when she ultimately realizes that it’s impossible to force a guy to love you.

House of Houses
Autor: Pat Mora
Número de Páginas: 322Combining poetic language and the traditions of magic realism to paint a vivid portrait of her family, Pat MoraÕs House of Houses is an unconventional memoir that reads as if every member, death notwithstanding, is in one room talking, laughing, and crying. In a salute to the Day of the Dead, the story begins with a visit to the cemetery in which all of her deceased relatives come alive to share stories of the family, literally bringing the food to their own funerals. From there the book covers a year in the life of her clan, revealing the personalities and events that Mora herself so desperately yearns to know and understand. ÒPoet MoraÕs complex and dramatic family history comprises more than personal reminiscences: it also embraces resonant aspects of Mexican American history. Mora recounts her familyÕs traumatic exodus from Mexico to escape the violence of Pancho Villa and his forces and their struggles to begin new lives in another country. To anchor her psychologically rich, dramatic, sometimes funny, often touching multigenerational tale, Mora uses the image of a houseÑthe house of housesÑduring a single year, a fruitful metaphor that allows her to dwell on the bright ...
