Author: Written by six Latino authors

Genre: Short story anthology on migration

Synopsis: This anthology brings together the voices of Latin American authors living in Houston, Texas, who explore migration from multiple perspectives. Through twelve short stories, readers encounter the experiences of those who left, those who stayed, and those who cross both physical and emotional borders.

Each story is a puzzle piece trying to fit into a new reality, touching on themes such as identity, cultural adaptation, and the clash between past and present. From a hospital to a dance floor, a construction site to a home filled with nostalgia, the settings reflect the complexity of living between two worlds.

With prose that flows between Spanish and English, the authors capture the impact of migration on language, worldview, and sense of belonging. Through traditions, food, and memories, this collection immerses us in the journey of rebuilding oneself far from home—navigating between exclusion and inclusion—and discovering in writing a new form of belonging.
