2023 International Book Award Winner for Social Change “This is a bold and intimate autobiography presented in an authoritative, journalistic style. Exceptional writing makes this a compelling book well beyond a personal perspective.” -- 2023 National Federation of Press Women Contest - 1st Place winner for Memoir or Autobiography Want a better future for our children and families? This is a story of courage and conviction as well as love, compassion, and hope. In January 2013, Regina’s fifteen-year-old nephew shot and killed his father (her brother), mother and three siblings. She became her nephew’s guardian and stood by him through seven years of legal drama. In this memoir, she recounts her extremely difficult and personal story that affected her large extended family and entire community. It is a tragedy about generational trauma set in the rich cultural background of New Mexico. The book details the failure of not only the Juvenile Justice System, but many other systems that undergird families and society including gun safety. This memoir is both a warning and a call to action for families, communities, and our nation.
