ENGLISH DESCRIPTION I write to be unburdened from the weight of forty years ruminating on the infinite versions of the myth of my father. At forty years old, as if in a road trip, with nothing but an old photograph, a daughter goes on a search for her father. As she gives an account of both her decision to meet him and the trip taking her from Mexico City to Michoac n, readers accompany her reconstruction of the past its love, its joys, its accidents and absences. «We are all children of Pedro P ramo, Alma Delia Murillo tells us, as she deals with a father who decided to leave home. Written with the utmost sincerity, Murillo rebuilds that universal parental symbol, chapter by chapter, in an attempt to define her own self. Her life unfolds as this search does. With seven brothers and a working mother, the main character grows up examining her own life and the history of a deeply divided country, in which women have not sufficiently told, from their own point of view, the story of the father.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers2.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/6/07/381/488/6073814887_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "18.95", "online_price" : "18.95", "our_price" : "18.95", "club_price" : "18.95", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
