Sonia's Literary Santo: Tomás Rivera

"He even raised one arm and waved it back and forth so that the other could see that he knew he was there." —Tomás Rivera

Sonia's Literary Santo: Victor Martinez

"When I opened the door to our house, the sun, out again, came rushing in the living room. Shadows lifted from the floor like a flock of birds rising into the horizon . . ."
