Castillo's debut novel tells the story of 17-year-old Sapogonia, a girl who has spent her whole life in a convent on the outskirts of Mexico City. When the convent is threatened with closure, Sapogonia and her fellow nuns are forced to leave their home and head for the city. In the city, Sapogonia is forced to come to terms with her sexuality and her lack of control over her own life. She is also forced to confront the harsh realities of life in the city, including gang violence and poverty. Ultimately, Sapogonia finds strength and hope in her relationships with her family and friends, and in her own abilities to overcome obstacles.; 8vo; Signed by Author.
