Description

ñIÍd like to hear you tell me of your first recollections. You were a baby when it happened, so itÍs important to know when you began to take things in after that,î Elena Santos asks Rafael Cota. ñIt. Things. You can use the word murder. IÍm used to it.î Rafael lives under the dark shadow of a violent crime, and he also lives with the knowledge that his mother was accused and convicted of the murder of his three older siblings. But RafaelÍs a survivor, and all his life, heÍs been prepared to fight with his anger, his energy, and even his sanity to defend his family. RafaelÍs life has been a downward spiral since that murky night. HeÍs haunted by nightmares, both in waking and sleep, of what happened and his own struggle to understand why he was saved. When heÍs given a chance to tell his story to Elena Santos, a reporter for The Register, Cota jumps at the chance. What begins as a simple search for a meaty story to make her career leads Elena into the tangled mind of the sole survivor, as he tries to use her to prove his motherÍs innocence. Through interviews, she follows him on every step of his search: from Los Angeles to Mexico, from the jail at San Quentin to his fatherÍs house. Soon, Elena begins to doubt everything she once held true. LimÑn explores RafaelÍs mental anguish within the greater context of such myths as Medea and La Llorona (the Crying Woman). Her deft, humane touch alternates between the poetic and the dramatic, as Rafael recounts his search for the truth that defines his very existence.
