Yet, nothing can silence the fears Alba refuses to confront. They simmer, then burst, but never quite erupt, and each time Carmen is by her side. Meanwhile, Alba's sister Diana struggles herself, balancing the demands of motherhood and work, but cannot remember the last time Carmen tended to her. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTwo days before Christmas, Alba drags Carmen to the mall. There, she runs into \"the widows.\" The pair approach Alba, put an evil eye on her. Her nose starts to bleed, which is how Alba knows. Then, on Christmas Eve, Alba disappears. And Diana and Carmen collapse from the pain in their bellies, where a deep gash splits their purging stomachs. As the tensions the three women have long held in explode, they're finally forced to confront the terror that connects them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHaunting, cinematic, and strikingly visceral, \u003ci\u003eDon't Leave Her Alone\u003c\/i\u003e is an incisive exploration of motherhood through a surreal \"awakening\" that interrogates women's struggle for autonomy and identity, and ultimately forces the question: what does it take to finally be able to break free?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Desirée de Fez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798217180288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e G.P.
