Prayers for the Stolen by Jennifer Clement

5.0

I would recommend this gem to all professors of college women’s lit classes. This authentic story written by a woman from Mexico City herself is set in a small mountain village in Mexico where drug cartels dominate and being a girl is inherently risky due to human trafficking. It was a glimpse into a world of human rights violations that we in the US don’t often remember. And, the main character is one of the strongest protagonists I have encountered in some time.
