Product Description
by Daniel Beauregard (Author)
When the power goes out in Floresta, the townspeople start exploding, and food supplies dwindle, ravaging the city. Gustavo, an overweight butcher, and Nadia, a beautiful girl from the barrio, set out in search of refuge, followed by Flattop, a vengeful cop, angry after being left behind. Gustavo and Nadia encounter a community of old men and women from the surrounding towns and villages that offers a semblance of normalcy. But Flattop shatters the illusion by kidnapping the survivors' leader. It's up to Gustavo and Nadia to try and save the leader of their newfound community and stay alive, no matter the cost. Mother of Flowers is set in a world where mud-faced goddesses, crooked cops, and exploding people and animals are the norm. It's a story about love and tradition, and the ghosts we leave behind when everything in the world is so easily and unexpectedly turned to dust.
