An excerpt from Happy Endings Are Overrated, Mags’ life from end to beginning:

===============================================

Mags tried to squirm out of her mama’s grip when the soldiers came, but Mama wouldn’t let her go. All Mags wanted was to take Osito, run into the trees, and climb as high as she could so the soldiers wouldn’t find her. She hadn’t yet worked out the logistics of getting Osito, who was bigger than she was, up in the tree with her. She almost made it away, but Mama chased after her and grabbed her wrist, swinging her up into her arms as people ran screaming and shouting through the streets.

“Magsie, bambina, don’t run away from Mama again,” Mama said to her. “Dulce madre de Dios, I can’t lose you, too.” Mags didn’t know what that meant, but it scared her because Mama was scared. Osito wouldn’t stop barking, and he sounded so strange; that scared Mags more than anything else, Osito’s bark and the way he kept showing his teeth, and she started to cry.
