Описание: Latinas of Indigenous descent living in the American West take center stage in this haunting debut story collection--a powerful meditation on friendship, mothers and daughters, and the deep-rooted truths of our homelands. Kali Fajardo-Anstine's magnetic story collection breathes life into her Indigenous Latina characters and the land they inhabit. Set 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 have the tendency to ascend 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 returns home from prison, finding 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. Advance praise for Sabrina & Corina "Here are stories that blaze like wildfires, with characters who made me laugh and broke my heart, believable in everything they said and did. How tragic that American letters hasn't met these women of the West before, women who were here before America was America. And how tragic that these working-class women haven't seen themselves in the pages of American lit before. Thank you for honoring their lives, Kali. I welcome them and you."--Sandra Cisneros
"Kali Fajardo-Anstine's collection of stories, Sabrina & Corina, isn't just good, it's masterful storytelling. Fajardo-Anstine is a fearless writer: her women are strong and scarred witnesses of the violations of their homelands, their culture, their bodies; her plots turn and surprise, unerring and organic in their comprehensiveness; her characters break your heart, but you keep on going because you know you are in the hands of a master. . . . Her stories move through the heart of darkness and illuminate it with the soul of truth. Comparisons came to mind: the Alice Munro of the high plains, the Toni Morrison of indigenous Latinas--but why compare her to anybody? She is her own unique voice, and her work will easily find a place, not just in Latinx literature, but in American literature and beyond."--Julia Alvarez, author of How the Garc a Girls Lost Their Accents

Eleven stories of ordinary people choosing extraordinary lives.
We are all born with an extraordinary gift, the gift of choice, but so many of us either don't see it or use it nearly enough. We choose from what's in front of us, which is not always the best thing, even if it's a good thing. We "choose" through life by what's apparent or by default fall back on patterns we learned that might not be good for us.
In The Choice, we get a rare glimpse into the lives of eleven people who lead extraordinary lives. With varied backgrounds, beliefs, professions, financial success, and family situations, we see how a particular choice each author makes led them to lives of abundance in purpose, finance, freedom, and fulfilment, all while living for others as well as themselves.
Once you've read The Choice, you too, should recognize you have choices in places you never suspected, that some are hard and some are easy, but they are in fact choices and we are free to make them, and you are free today to choose what your life will look and feel like tomorrow.
Anyone who has gone down a path of tragedy, societal expectation, convenience, and even great success, has to make choices about the future. We want all who read this engaging book to see a little bit better how they too can lead lives of abundance and fulfilment, and that the secret lies within, in our birthright of the choice.
