His words, full of poetry and heart, will touch your soul and make you feel less alone.'-Reyna Grande, author of The Distance Between Us, finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award and Across a Hundred Mountains, winner of the American Book Award and the Premio Aztlán Literary Award'A treatise in poetry about one of the most important stories of our time-the formation and work of Proyecto Pastoral in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles.

Rodríguez, former Los Angeles Poet Laureate, author of Always Running, La Vida Loca, Gang Days in L.A.' and It Calls You Back: An Odyssey through Love, Addiction, Revolutions, and Healing'Written for the community and the love found within, Rodríguez's collection is a moving tribute to the women of Boyle Heights.

Rodriguez's words reveal the light found within.'-m.s. RedCherries, author of mother, winner of the American Book Award and National Book Award Finalist.…
