Araceli's Path, Among Angels and Devils in Juarez

By Marion Surles

Description:

Araceli comes from a blended, dysfunctional family held together by the love of a grandmother. Rubí is being raised by a single mother who works as a prostitute. Both young girls are affected not only by their mothers' choices but also by the violence and culture of Juarez, Mexico. Can they overcome the cards they have been dealt or are they destined to follow the same paths as their mothers? Follow the lives of Araceli and Rubí from childhood to young adulthood and listen for children everywhere who are voiceless, trapped in their own cultures.

Why the author wrote this book:

We are so blessed in the United States that we take many basics for granted. I hope that my book will help us be more compassionate and generous to the many in our world who live without a safety net. We can all do something to help.
