Gaby Triana liked Tony Sarrecchia's review of Moon Child: "As someone who grew up devoutly Catholic I can relate to the main characters spiritual arc.

Quotes by Gaby Triana (?)

“So you're Dina," I say. "And you two are ..."
"Jacob and Edward," the older one says, and they all start laughing. "Sorry, I meant ... I'm Luke, and he's Han," They stifle smiles this time.
I'm pretty sure those are names from Star Wars. "Right, and I'm Chewbacca," I say.”
― Gaby Triana, Summer of Yesterday

“Any woman refusing to take part in a patriarchal religion was considered a witch in those times. In your grandmother’s, they couldn’t hang anyone, but they could still frown down on them.”
