Summary

In Northern Mexico, Paulina, Perla, Antonia, Reina and Jordan are striving to survive the barrio – hustling on the edge of a cartel-run economy, nursing the wounds made normal in a world that eats its own. Hovering over their trials is a spirit with gothic flair: Medea, a mythic mother of the Chihuahuan desert, ancient as the Aztecs but never too old to be petty.

From aiding a trophy girlfriend's abortion, to accompanying a mother in her search for her lost child in the desert, to embracing those taken too soon in the narco's brutal proxy wars, Medea fights for justice for her chosen mortals – her divine wrath the only power that could rival the corrupt, violent web spun by the cartel, the government and the military.

Dahlia de la Cerda's magnetic prose draws listeners right into the heart of that web – and links all our fates to the missions of Medea, equal parts midwife and gravedigger, a femme fatale god in a femicidal world.

Critic Reviews

'Once again, de la Cerda has given us a collection of stories that is of devastating impact, one whose power slowly grows with each new voice that joins the chorus until the collective coalesces into a passage that absolutely takes you out at the kneecaps.' (Joe Murray, Readings)
'Propulsive and poetic. As sick as it is sexy and as feral as it is tender. I couldn't put it down.' (Melissa Lozada-Oliva, author of Candelaria)
