In 1971 and 1972, a deadly predator stalked the streets of the nation’s capital. His targets were young girls who he kidnapped, raped, and left their remains along busy roadways in plain view. Some of his victims he held captive for days, others only a few minutes. Seven victims ranging from the ages of 10 to 18 died in his hands. Then, as mysteriously as he started, the Freeway Phantom stopped.

On the dawn of 16 July 1990, Liliana Rivera Garza, Cristina Rivera Garza’s sister, was murdered by her ex-boyfriend and subsumed into Mexico's dark and relentless history of femicide. She was a twenty-year-old architecture student who had been trying for years to end her relationship with a high school boyfriend who insisted on not letting her go. A few weeks before the tragedy, Liliana made a definitive decision: at the height of her winter she had discovered that, as Albert Camus had said, there was an invincible summer in her.

El abuso sexual infantil, la violencia intrafamiliar y la violencia de género constituyen realidades dolorosas que marcan, de una u otra forma, la vida de los seres humanos que han tenido el infortunio de sufrir estas experiencias.

This book is about my fight. This book outlines the stages of a domestic violent relationship with a significant other, whether a husband, boyfriend, girlfriend, or whatever. No one should have to feel as if he or she is being torn apart to make others happy with themselves. In a relationship, you should be able to count on the other person no matter what. You should be able to take their words at face value and be able to believe them when they say to you that they will never leave. This book will help others to become the warrior that I have slowly learned to become.
