The story is available here: https://www.tfrohock.com/blog/2013/11/6/read-la-santisima-an-original-short-story-by-teresa-frohock.html
Not at all what I expected... but beautifully written short story about a modern Mexican family with a slight supernatural ‘flavour’. It is a shame it is so short though!

Excellent story, very-well composed - relevant socially, politically and culturally. Also worth reading the author's afterword, about how the story came about.

A freely available short story from author Frohock that, like her [b:Miserere|10193060|Miserere An Autumn Tale|Teresa Frohock|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1301084223s/10193060.jpg|15092211], centers itself around religion without becoming itself a religious fiction. The elevation of La Santa Muerte here is an intriguing way to acknowledge Mexican culture for unfamiliar readers, and Forhock's ability to create new avenues into exploring religion -- here tied to immigration -- is a welcome perspective.
