the Wars We Choose: Against Weight of Memory

Some memories never leave us. They stay lodged in the mind for years, sometimes for an entire lifetime.The stories in this collection are born from those moments: a childhood scene that refuses to fade, a question that follows someone across decades, a night when fear breathes in the dark, or the instant when a single word forces a choice between silence and dignity.These are stories about the small, often quiet moments that change the course of a life.Because some wars are forced upon us. And others -the most important ones- we choose to fight.Ivonne Lozada is a Puerto Rican writer, attorney, and human rights activist.
