Book Synopsis The Mystery of Survival and Other Stories by : Alicia Gaspar de Alba
Book excerpt: These are stories about strong women: survivors that include professionals or professional whores, writers, educators, counselors and curanderas, the bewitched and the bewitchers. The title story and its description of the sexual abuse of a young girl by her stepfather will make it clear that this work treats outrages as well as mysteries, and the reader will come to learn that a part of surviving is to begin to understand outrageous humanity.
