Status Updates From Loteria

Luz is really giving us a look at the domestics violence between her parents and the sexual abuse from her cousin and uncle. How here mother mistreats her when she is going through the heartache of her marriage. Luz finds her mother really beaten bad and tries to help. Luz and Estrella have each other for support but like all siblings they have their moments of weakness.

Estrella passes away but with no explanation as to what happened to her. Luz discusses about mom going to work with Dr. Roberto and initiating a possible cheating scandal. Luz and Estrella go to a fiesta and get drunk for the first time during their adolescence. Wondering what will happen next to the Castillo family.

Luz is being more open about the abuse she is receiving from her uncle Carlos, mother, and father. She is sharing how el paraguas, el catrin, and el arpa connects to her childhood.

Luz is amazing at connecting her family to the characters of La Lotería. Just learned that her cousin took advantage with sexual advances and assault as she was oblivious to the situation. Luz and her family appears to have the same issues, concerns, and special moments in any Latino family. Love the start of how the book begins.
