Books by Julianne Pachico

Matty - her childhood friend, her best friend, her brother, her protector - now runs the Anthill, a day care refuge for the street kids of Medellin.

Set mostly in lush, heady Colombia but even in a jungle-like New York City, this book brings together the fates of guerrilla soldiers, rich kids, rabbits, hostages, bourgeois expats, and drug dealers. Interconnected yet fractured in places, it is a narrative jigsaw puzzle with some of the pieces missing.
