¡Pa'Que Tu Lo Sepas!: Stories to Benefit the People of Puerto Rico

On September 20th 2017 Hurricane Maria made landfall on the island of Puerto Rico as a Category 4--a devastatingly powerful storm that left immense suffering in its wake. The island still hasnt recovered completely; a victim of continued neglect and the continued efforts of many to demean and frame Puerto Ricans as other or lesser even though they are citizens of the United States. Net proceeds from ¡PaQue Tu Lo Sepas! will benefit The Hispanic Federation: UNIDOS Disaster Relief & Recovery Program to Support Puerto Rico a program working to help those still affected by the disaster and ensure continued safety in the face of continued weather-related events that can and will happen again. With a foreword by editor Angel Luis Colón and 11 stories from veteran and newcomer Latinx authors who need to be on your radar ¡PaQue Tu Lo Sepas! is a loud and proud celebration of Latinx writing joy trauma and most of all love. Contributors: Chantel Acevedo Hector Acosta David Bowles Hector Duarte Jr. Carmen Jaramillo Jessica Laine Richie Narvaez Christopher Novas Cina Pelayo Alex Segura and Désirée Zamorano. Praise for ¡PAQUE TU LO SEPAS!
