Benitez received international acclaim for her first two novels: "A Place Where the Sea Remembers" ("A quietly stunning work that leaves soft tracks in the heart"--"Washington Post Book World") and "Bitter Grounds" ("The kind of book that fills your dreams for weeks"--Isabel Allende). Now she returns with an unforgettable tale of a boy's life in war-torn El Salvador.

"Bentez's third novel seamlessly blends fact with imagination, evoking the trauma of war more vividly than any newspaper account . . . beautifully illuminating." (Publishers Weekly starred review)
