Juana Diego and the Roses--Short Stories

By Brit Chism

Juana Diego and the Roses is a book of short stories about women protagonists. They struggle with contemporary issues: gender discrimination, violence, unfaithful lovers, frustrated ambition, dishonest coworkers, outdated social mores, and patriarchy. No knight in shining armor or superman here--the women rely on their own resources and strengths to overcome (or succumb)--there is no guaranteed happy ending. Indeed the myths of Prince Charming and happily ever after are often misrepresentations. These are not period pieces, but contemporary 21st century stories that could be set where you live, and deal with the issues that today's woman faces.
