Graciela, a young girl growing up on a volcano in a community of Indigenous women, is summoned to the capital, where she is claimed as an oracle for a rising dictator. There she meets Consuelo, the sister she has never known, who was stolen from their home before Graciela was born. The two spend years under the cruel El Gran Pendejo's regime, unwillingly helping his reign of terror, until genocide strikes the community from which they hail. Each believing the other to be dead, they escape, fleeing across the globe, reinventing themselves until fate ultimately brings them back together in the most unlikely of ways... \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEndlessly surprising, vividly imaginative, bursting with lush life, \u003ci\u003eThe Volcano Daughters \u003c\/i\u003echarts a new history and mythology of El Salvador, fiercely bringing forth voices that have been calling out for generations.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGINA MARÍA BALIBRERA \u003c\/b\u003eearned an MFA in Prose from the University of Michigan's Helen Zell Writers' Program.
