Sabrina & CorinaSabrina & Corina

"Kali Fajardo-Anstine's magnetic story collection breathes life into her Latina characters of indigenous ancestry and the land they inhabit in the American West. Against the remarkable backdrop of Denver, Colorado--a place that is as fierce as it is exquisite--these women navigate the land the way they navigate their lives: with caution, grace, and quiet force. In 'Sugar babies,' ancestry and heritage are hidden inside the earth but tend to rise during land disputes. 'Any further west' follows a sex worker and her daughter as they leave their ancestral home in southern Colorado only to find a foreign and hostile land in California. In 'Tomi,' a woman leaves prison and finds herself in a gentrified city that is a shadow of the one she remembers from her childhood. And in the title story, 'Sabrina & Corina,' a Denver family falls into a cycle of violence against women, coming together only through ritual. 'Sabrina & Corina' is a moving narrative of unrelenting feminine power and an exploration of the universal experiences of abandonment, heritage, and an eternal sense of home"--Publisher's description.
