"The Daughters of Juarez" by Teresa Rodriguez

Wow I am Astonished ! As soon as I opened the book and read "The desert sky is vast and cloudless. It shelters all and hides nothing. The desert sun is unforgiving. It bleaches all beneath it. The desert breeze walks through the landscape, softening the searing sun, or freezing beneath the evening star. It is a landscape of extremes. A desert landscape can be beautiful - cactus flowers, an endless horizon, creatures which thrive somehow. But in Ciudad Juarez it is a backdrop for murder. It is a vast unwilling graveyard." I was immediately blown away. I had never pictured something this clear in my head before, just by reading a couple lines in a book. It amazes me that in such short sentences of description fits the beautiful picture of the city of Juarez, but which later on collapses down into ugly scenes of murder and death. This is my type of book for sure, in every little word and description I can feel what is going on without the author having to tell me straight up in an obvious sentence. This keeps me intrigued wanting to read more and more, having to find out my own conclusions by the clues they give me and teaching me about the reality of life that goes on outside our doors.
