Angol
The world treated her as collateral damage.
She answered with music-a premonition of rediscovering humanity.
In a world growing numb to cruelty, The Original Human Beings tells the inspirational story of a girl named Never-a Honduran orphan who escapes living in a Central American city dump and journeys north with a cello on her back. She's fighting simply to stay alive.
She alone could protect her hilarious little brother, Homero. She searched for a hero-but found a dreamy Nez Perce young man, the most athletic person she had ever seen, who helped her realize the hero was staring back at her in the mirror.
It is a romance as scandalous as it is soulful, with no promise of happily ever after-only truth.
She found refuge in Loco Lucy, the garbage dump's foul-mouthed, delightfully deranged, vampire-dressing matriarch.
She was hunted by General Alejandro Mendoza-El Caudillo-a ruthless crime lord who misbelieved he was her father and would burn down the world to control her.
And she was stalked by Alonzo Gomez, a seven-foot hitman with a French accent, a loaded pistol, and a soul darker than midnight-until she made him believe in something more dangerous.
It is a high-concept saga infused with magical realism.
It echoes with the mythic power of Le Morte d'Arthur-as timeless a tale as we may see in our generation.
This is how we remember what truly matters.
This is how we broken walk out of the monster.
