Sobre IBD

Strength and Graceis the story of a young Mexican woman who stumbles into becoming a bullfighter. She so excels that she becomes a great Matador. The catch is that all but a few think that she is a man. It is a story of female empowerment within the Mexican male culture of the bullfight. There are also coming of age aspects to the story as the reader follows her growth from being a fifteen-year old tomboy to a twenty-five year old woman who spends the majority of her time being a man. This duality creates gender identity issues that she must face along with all of the dangers of her profession and the tension of her masquerade.Winner, one of the best fiction novels of 2015, Southern California Book FestivalWinner, one of the best fiction novels of 2015, Great Midwest Book Festival Also available in EspañolFUERZA y GRACIA
