"In Broken, But Holding, Annalicia Aguilar is a goddess, vengeful spirit, and phoenix. In short, she is a woman relishing her power. She examines the legacy of strength coursing through her veins and the circumstances she refuses to let define her while deftly empowering readers to seize control. A performer, Aguilar makes the page her stage, forcing her words off the paper and into the moment, taking us on a journey where appreciation and hope triumph over grief and rage. At once an onslaught and safe haven, Broken, But Holding will break you, then artfully put you back together."
