About this ebook

The world treated her as collateral damage. She answered with music—a premonition of rediscovering humanity. In a world growing numb to cruelty, The Original Human Beings tells the inspirational story of a girl named Never—a Honduran orphan who escapes living in a Central American city dump and journeys north with a cello on her back. She's fighting simply to stay alive. She alone could protect her hilarious little brother, Homero. She searched for a hero—but found a dreamy Nez Perce young man, the most athletic person she had ever seen, who helped her realize the hero was staring back at her in the mirror. It is a romance as scandalous as it is soulful, with no promise of happily ever after—only truth. She found refuge in Loco Lucy, the garbage dump's foul-mouthed, delightfully deranged, vampire-dressing matriarch. She was hunted by General Alejandro Mendoza—El Caudillo—a ruthless crime lord who misbelieved he was her father and would burn down the world to control her. And she was stalked by Alonzo Gomez, a seven-foot hitman with a French accent, a loaded pistol, and a soul darker than midnight—until she made him believe in something more dangerous. It is a high-concept saga infused with magical realism. It echoes with the mythic power of Le Morte d'Arthur—as timeless a tale as we may see in our generation. This is how we remember what truly matters. This is how we broken walk out of the monster.
