Fiction. Literature. Short Stories. HTML:NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST ? 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. 
/> ??Here are stories that blaze like wildfires, with characters who made me laugh and broke my heart.???Sandra Cisneros
WINNER OF THE AMERICAN BOOK AWARD ? FINALIST FOR THE STORY PRIZE ? FINALIST FOR THE PEN/ROBERT W. BINGHAM PRIZE FOR DEBUT SHORT STORY COLLECTION
Kali Fajardo-Anstine??s magnetic story collection breathes life into her Latina characters of indigenous ancestry and the land they inhabit in the American West. 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 tend to rise 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 leaves prison and finds 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.
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New York Public Library ? Kirkus Reviews Library Journal 
??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.???Julia Alvarez, author of How the García Girls Lost Their Accents

Sabrina & Corina
A strong sense of place resides through these stories. From city skylines that reflect gentrification changes to the intimate interiors of homes and apartments that carry great meaning to personal life journies.
Its interesting the things you remember when monumental moments happen

Julian Plaza
Death isn't always the same expierance.

Galapago
The memories.
"When they were first in the family, on either side, to own property."

Tomi
Something struck a cord with me in the blooming relationship between Tomi and Cole.
Family home, reading struggles and a bond between Aunti and nephew. While I don't relate to the same situations Cole expierance. There was a distance between me and my family after the tragedy of death.

Ghost Sickness
Not passed down or forgotten.
Struggling to capture it all Anna frantically documents anything spoken in class about the topic. ( )

Fall 2021 (September);

Another AP pile read from the summer. I've definitely been slowing down while juggling books clubs, Hugo's, and new books I'm teaching in my classroom this year, too. I didn't find myself as much in love with this one, but I did still love the closer view into these very culturally different lives, loves, families, pains. ( )

I'm taking this back to the library after reading half of it. It's not bad, but just doesn't resonate with me. I think it's great that the author wants to portray people like her, but their concerns aren't mine. ( )

I didn't get quite all the way through this book. The stories are well-written, resonant, and educational for a settler reader like myself. I would highly recommend it, but it was too much of a gut punch for where my mental health is right now. ( )

An impressive debut. Beautifully written, powerful stories with memorable characters. I'm looking forward to reading more from this author in the future. ( )
