In "Summer of the Mariposas" by Guadalupe Garcia McCall, five sisters—compañeras in life and mischief—set off on a transformative journey after discovering a dead body in the river near their home. Determined to bring the body back to its family, the sisters embark on an adventure across Texas and into Mexico. Along the way, they face challenges that test their bonds and uncover the strength of their family ties. The narrative beautifully weaves themes of identity, love, and loss, all steeped in a rich cultural tapestry, as the sisters learn about life, death, and the importance of loyalty.
