Ir ne gives the wealthy businessmen what they want, diving headfirst into the filthy river, thinking only of providing for her baby daughter, Marisa, as the men salivate over her soaked body emerging onto the bank. A young boy tries to befriend the reticent younger sister of the town's cruelest bully, only to discover the family betrayal behind her quiet countenance. Josefa, a young bride, is executed for murdering the man who raped her. Joy Castro's How Winter Began traces these and other characters as they seek compassion from each other and themselves.

Thematically linked by the lives of women, especially Latinas, and their experiences of poverty and violence in a white-dominated, wealth-obsessed culture, How Winter Began is a delicately wrought collection of stories. The question at the heart of this riveting book is how or whether to trust one another after the rupture of betrayal.

Great product makes my skin look dewy and soft with no powdery biproduct
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Excellent product. It looks white on my fingertips but absorbs as a clear product which feels soft, cool, and gel-like on my skin. I usually use it with a gel moisturizer but I think one can use it on its own.

Sunscreen for Combination and Sensitive Skin
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve been buying different skincare products because I really want to improve the way my skin looks and feels. My skin type is combination, with a history of acne, some acne marks, enlarged pores (especially on my nose and cheeks), a dull and slightly dry tone, occasional sensitivity, a light expression line on my forehead, and sometimes dry patches. As you can see, I have quite a few concerns, so I have to be careful with the products I use. 💬 I chose this Sunscreen, and I’ve absolutely loved it! The texture is lightweight and keeps my skin well-hydrated throughout the day. My face doesn’t look dull anymore — it looks fresh and naturally glowy, which I really appreciate. I also love how quickly it absorbs without leaving any greasy or sticky feeling. And of course, the most important part: it really protects my skin from the sun.

Great product but expensive and small
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This looks great on the skin, it's a very good product. Expensive for the size though, the tube is more like travel size. I think it's worth it if you have sensitive or acne-prone skin as this didn't break me out like traditional sunscreens, but I think it's expensive for how much you get.
