For My Daughter Elena Aguilar

A collection of short stories and poems about navigating love and womanhood while trying to exist in a daunting world. Women experience trauma, assault, heartbreak, abandonment and loss only to be called sensitive and week; but their strength resides in their resilience, their ability to withstand the pain.

The purpose of writing is always to capture emotions that seem to run rampant when not trapped on paper. Suffering has always come so easy, like a honed talent, and putting it into words is sometimes the only form of healing.
