Overview
Esta antología reúne veintiuna miradas, sentires y voces de mujeres que tienen el centro de América como su patria cultural.

Sus relatos evidencian la complejidad del panorama social, económico, político y cultural del istmo, así como su original habilidad estética. Mujeres todas con la intuición de apegarse a sus sueños, porque saben que de ellos nacen los motivos necesarios para seguir haciéndole la crónica a la vida. Ellas comparten, día con día, la intensidad, la agudeza y el asombro de la indagación en la condición humana.
