I feel like I’m racing through El Laberinto with a lit candle and trying desperately to keep its small flame alive.
For the first time in my life, I know what real hope feels like.
And already, it’s everything.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
My personal acknowledgments are included in Lobizona, so for Cazadora I want to acknowledge the people for whom I wrote this series:
For all the families at the border that were dismantled and destroyed over paperwork.
For all the parents wondering if their children will ever heal from the trauma.
For all the women abused in detention centers and forcibly sterilized.
For all the lost children who will never know their own stories.
And for the reckoning that is to come.
