Fiction. Embedded in the novel's winding tales, memory and dreams mingle and sing, asking us to question our preconceptions about history--whose version becomes truth? Spanning decades and generations, RISE, DO NOT BE AFRAID serves as social commentary and is a lyric, fervent prayer for redemption in a time when there is urgent need for both. "Abeyta's language is tender and prophetic, his characters made of fragrant cedars and holy myth. To read this book is to enter a time and place where newborn children with psychic tongues drift in dreams, a space that defies language and the notion that la vida is a linear ride. His words shift and rush, from solid ice to silent rivulets, shaping, with steady calculation, the canyon of his people's history"--Tim Hernandez.
