National Catholic Reporter: Book Review of "Tías and Primas"

This is probably one of my top favorite reviews I have received for any book, most likely because I place a lot of emotional energy into wanting The Church to understand my work as theological, but that is a whole other conversation.

Here is a snippet of the review:

"Each section of the book is delivered like a sermon, with a near-exegetical way of tracing the roles of the various women in our familias. This isn't surprising: Mojica Rodríguez was raised in a pastor's home and has a master's of divinity from Vanderbilt University. But she does more than proselytize from a metaphorical pulpit; she invites conversation with these beloved familial figures, holding them up to some of the most celebrated feminist thinkers of the last century. She helps us see our tías and primas (aunts and cousins) as flowers on the family tree, blooming in spite of the sexism, patriarchy and colonialism attempting to stifle their beauty." -Stephanie Espinoza
