Inventive...Ybarra brings us through the process with the
objectivity and forensic eye of a true crime writer, allowing
glimpses of poignancy... the mother's grace and courage in the face
of death is captured by her daughter... The writing sparkles
throughout... Ybarra has done herself and her family proud in a
story that is full of light and shade.
