Tia Chucha Press is thrilled to announce the publication of our first novel in thirty-four years, The Place of the White Heron. Written by renowned Chicano writer and scholar Alejandro Morales, this book serves as a parable for the twenty-first century, an allegory of the violence, racism, and international tensions between the United States and Mexico. At its heart, the protagonist J. I. Cruz embodies a mythic female character who is desperately needed in our times. Throughout the novel, Morales incorporates allusions to pre-Columbian goddesses and other Mexican mythological, religious, artistic, spiritual, and historical figures, shaping Cruz's psychological and spiritual identity.
