Ortega, Mark Oshiro and Lilliam Rivera.
"An anthology that collects 17 speculative fiction tales written by both new and well-established authors representing the Latin American diaspora... tales of empowerment and growth, of letting go, punching up, and celebrating love in all its incarnations and colors of the rainbow. There is a little something for everyone in this powerful, essential anthology." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"[M]agnetic and artfully curated...with rousing prose and premises that immediately entrance...[a] visionary anthology." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
