About the book
Hija del sol
Aura Elena Baker ni siquiera quería encontrar a la mujer que la dio en adopción. Pero haría cualquier cosa por hacer feliz a su papá, y él quiere intentarlo. Tal vez encuentren algunas respuestas, cómo porque sus lágrimas son moradas y su lengua se vuelve amarilla cuando está enojada, por qué cuando está lo suficientemente feliz, se eleva del suelo.
El papá de Elena piensa que quizás la vida sería más segura y sencilla sin estas cosas "especiales." Pero su madre biológica, Caterina, los atesora. Elena es una levantadora, ella explica, de una larga tradición maya; también lo es su media hermana, Colel. Lo más sorprendente es que la adopción de Elena no fue decisión de su madre, en absoluto.
En medio de la alegría del reencuentro llegan noticias terribles: el pueblo de Caterina (el pueblo de Elena, en otra vida…) está en la mira para un proyecto de cultivo de Palma Africana que robaría la tierra y envenenaría el agua. El papá de Elena quiere huir de regreso a Texas, pero Colel la presiona a que se una a la lucha. Atrapada en medio del conflicto, sólo Elena puede responder a la pregunta: ¿en quién se convertirá?
Entretejida con realismo mágico, Hija del sol es una historia cautivadora de identidad, familia, y justicia ecológica de la guatemalteca-angloamericana y galardonada con el premio Pura Belpré, Rebecca Balcárcel, autora de Shine On, Luz Véliz! y The Other Half of Happy.
