  1. 1. Cómo Maté A Mi Padre

    A lyrical memoir of a woman who revisits her Medellín childhood after her father is murdered by hitmen, tracing how a single act of violence fractures everyday life and reshapes an entire family. Through vivid sensory memories, dark humor, and intimate vignettes, she confronts grief, guilt, and the uneasy normality of living amid Colombia’s turbulent 1990s. The result is a tender yet unsentimental reckoning with memory, resilience, and the enduring imprint of love and loss.
