Inez’s family threatens to fragment when her father gets arrested for\nsmuggling marijuana into the U.S. The old ways cherished by her beloved Mexican\ngrandmother offer refuge from the turmoil. But life in El Paso is far more\nexciting\, as mini-skirts\, rock music\, and the sexual revolution shatter tradition\non both sides of the border. Poised between two countries and hovering at the\ndivide of childhood and womanhood\, Inez must choose whether to make the dangerous\nleap her parents never quite made\, the leap faced by every new American: letting\ngo of the old country to embrace a new destiny in the United States.\n\nJohn Sayles\, filmmaker\, author\, and MacArthur Fellow\, says\, “Marta Elva pulls us\ninto the minds of a half-dozen members of a border family in crisis\, dramatizing\nthe state of living ni aqui\, ni alla—neither here nor there geographically and\nemotionally. A moving first novel.”\n\nMarta Elva [Gibbons] was born in Ciudad Juárez\, Mexico\, and raised in El Paso\,\nTexas. Marta lived in Gloucester before moving to New York. Her career as a\nwriter\, producer\, editor\, and camera operator in television and independent film\nspans over three decades and includes several Emmy-nominated shows\, notably PBS\nWNET New York’s\, Setting the Stage.
