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.

Morales' writing is a testament to his talent and dedication to storytelling. With his intricate prose and vivid imagery, he transports readers to the heart of Mexico and the struggles faced by its people. The Place of the White Heron is a powerful exploration of identity, culture, and the human condition, offering a fresh perspective on the complexities of our world.

We are honored to bring this novel to readers and believe that it will resonate with those who seek to understand the complexities of our shared history and the challenges we face today. We hope that you will join us in celebrating the publication of The Place of the White Heron and the talented author Alejandro Morales.
