"The plot explodes at once into different directions as it centers around the question of: Where in the world is Tiya Mercedes? The characters traversing the various spatial and temporal corridors of this maze finally converge a third of the way into the novel, in their search, literally for the missing aunt, and allegorically for some meaningful connection with someone or something. It is to the author’s great credit that she never loses sight of each of her characters’ inner life, even as she sets them into violent interaction with events and yes, issues.”
— From Dr. Rosario Lucero’s Foreword
