As October is also
Domestic Violence Awareness Month, I thought I would introduce you to a book that covers the subject well.
Carla Trujillo's
What Night Brings tells the story of two sisters who struggle to get out of an abusive household. But every time they get the chance to leave, they cannot leave their mother behind.
Finally, the cold realization sets in that they cannot help their mother if she wants to stay with an abusive man more than she wants to help her daughters.
The story's protagonist Marci Cruz seems older than her 11 years as she struggles to find her identity and make sense of her homosexuality.
