Love War Stories

Ivelisse Rodriguez

This poignant, street-smart collection follows idealistic teenagers and weary mothers battling over what it means to be a woman in love. From childhood, Puerto Rican girls are taught to want one thing: true love. Yet older generations are rife with broken promises and betrayal. While some believe they'll be the one to make it work, others swear not to repeat cycles of violence. Playing out are these 'love wars,' as individuals find themselves caught in the crosshairs of romance, expectations, and community.
