Tigers Are Not Afraid

Estrella, 10 years old, has three wishes. The first is that Estrella’s missing mother returns and it does. Estrella follows Estrella wherever her mother goes, but when she returns home, it is too late. Estrella, terrified and desperate to flee her mother’s clutches, joins a violent gang. She soon realizes the truth that the dead can never be left behind, and it is impossible to wish for what you desire when your life is roiled by violence and brutality. –Tania Benitez
