Author Lorraine Avila discusses her debut novel, The Making of Yolanda la Bruja, with educator Kleaver Cruz.

The Making of Yolanda la Bruja was inspired by Avila’s experience as a Dominican-American growing up in the Bronx section of New York City as well as the Latin American occult tradition known as bruja.

The novel relates the story of a girl named Yolanda Alvarez whose contented life is challenged by a new boy at school. The Making of Yolanda La Bruja is a story born from the intersection of race, justice, education, and spirituality that will capture readers everywhere.
