No child deserves to live in this nightmare.

As she confronts the \"monster\" and deals with her worries about family separation, Sofia displays strength. When she finally voices her distress, she taps into the knowledge she carries from abuelita, her parents, and those in the community who provide resources. This book serves as a model for personal and academic empowerment. It can be used as a therapeutic instrument for bibliotherapy and counseling groups.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJulio Valenzuela\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarriage and Family Therapist\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSanta Clara University\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSofia's painful yet powerful story reminds us of the monster that takes our collective breath away. Her warm cobija or blanket comforts us, as we bear witness to the ways in which she resists and protects herself with amor de familia--a family's love. As I read through Sofia's story, I thought, \"Yo también tengo miedo; I am also afraid.\" This book is a must read for those who stand in solidarity against the monstruo in our historical and present memory. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDaniela Dominguez\u003c\/strong\u003e, Psy.D.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAssistant Professor of in Counseling Psychology, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUniversity of San Francisco\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.16 x 8.5 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 30, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47412708901042,"sku":"9781735121017","price":21.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/2e1214280f558484480fa693eef58481.webp?v=1778327765","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/love-and-monsters-in-sofias-life-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
