Family Baggage
Born into a desperately poor and volatile family stuck in a rainy river town deep in the jungles of Colombia, Yojary Lozano struggles to define love and reconcile with relatives who often act unconcerned even about her survival. Abandoned by their parents and left with a bitter grandmother, a motley slew of siblings and cousins suffer and survive sexual predation, relentless flooding, unpreventable illnesses, a ceaseless, insatiable hunger, and cruel punishments bordering on child torture, all while barely being able to clothe themselves. One sister's love for her family, despite their every attempt to crush her spirit, reaches out in vain as the family she left succeeds in destroying itself. This autobiographical account of thirty-five years of pain will seize your heart as its narrator forgivingly recounts her oppressed upbringing.
