The afterpains / by Stainsby, Anna Julia,author.(CARDINAL)890156;
"Gorgeous and perceptive, The Afterpains is a heartbreaking portrait of two families trying to cope with grief, isolation, and living far from one's homeland--told in the voices of four distinct narrators. Twenty years after the death of her infant daughter, Rosy still feels--acutely--all that she's lost. But she's determined to try to lay her grief to rest, desperate to repair the connections to the family she does have: her husband, Desmond, and her nineteen-year-old son, Eddie. At the same time, Isaura is shattered after learning that her teenage daughter, Mivi, is pregnant. Haunted by a centuries-long curse with roots in her homeland of Honduras, a curse which has subjected all the young women in Isaura's family to teenage motherhood and the untimely death of the men they loved, Isaura is devastated to find out that her daughter, even after moving thousands of miles away from Pespire to Toronto, has still not been spared. Soon, Rosy and Isaura, essentially strangers, become connected in a way neither of them could predict. As they try to look to the future, both theirs and their children's, they struggle to put the past behind them--all while Eddie and Mivi contend with the weight of their mothers' pain and guilt. Tender and compassionate, The Afterpains is a moving debut novel on motherhood, grief, identity, and belonging."--

Enrique's journey / by Nazario, Sonia.(CARDINAL)473583;

When Enrique was five, his mother, too poor to feed her children, left Honduras to work in the United States. The move allowed her to send money back home so Enrique could eat better and go to school past the third grade. She promised she would return quickly, but she struggled in America. Without her, he became lonely and troubled. After eleven years, he decided he would go find her. He set off alone, with little more than a slip of paper bearing his mother's North Carolina telephone number. Without money, he made the dangerous trek up the length of Mexico, clinging to the sides and tops of freight trains. He and other migrants, many of them children, are hunted like animals. To evade bandits and authorities, they must jump onto and off the moving boxcars they call the Train of Death. It is an epic journey, one thousands of children make each year to find their mothers in the United States.--From publisher description.830LAccelerated Reader ARAccelerated Reader AR

The secret language of prairie dogs / by Villanueva, James(James Robert),author.(CARDINAL)876729;
"Seventeen-year-old Santos Ramos is a curandero--Latinx shaman--living in a desolate West Texas. When a mute boy crosses the border through a sinister smuggler, Santos finds himself fascinated by the voiceless teen. Santos craves a more traditional high school life of parties, studying for the SATs, and writing for the school blog, but he was born with el don--the gift. People come to him for spiritual healing. Like his past Aztec roots, though, asking God for healing comes with the sacrifices of fevered charms, personal objects, snake venom, and even the blood of animals ... Sixteen-year-old Dulcero Lopez and his younger sister emigrate from Honduras after witnessing the brutal murder of his parents, causing him to have aphasia and lose the ability to speak. The two head north to the USA, where Dulcero is separated from her by ICE. Voiceless Dulcero is sent to live with his abusive uncle, Juan, who is a coyote and who he cannot pay for bringing him over. His only way out of this hell and to be reunited with his little sister is through the healing hands of Santos"--Page 4 of cover.
