Salt BonesSalt Bones

"Three women in one twisted family race for answers in this gripping retelling of Persephone and Demeter set in the Mexicali borderlands. Malamar Veracruz raised two children, worked hard, and tried to forget the unexplained disappearance of her sister, Elena. When another local girl goes missing, Mal plunges into a fresh yet familiar nightmare. Hunting for answers, her search becomes tangled with visions of a horse-headed woman, a local legend who Mal feels compelled to follow. Joined by her two daughters, they work to uncover the truth about the missing girls before it's too late. Combining Latina and Indigenous culture, family drama, mystery, horror, and magical realism, Salt Bones lays bare the realities of environmental catastrophe, family secrets, and the unrelenting bond between mothers and daughters."--
