Lovely Lofty Loco? As a black entertainment writer in Los Angeles, Vida Donnevan is plagued by insecurity and feelings of invisibility. The pressure of the velvet rope sends her on routine excursions to the emergency room because she's convinced that she's having a heart attack-once a week. Vida fears she won't see her thirtieth birthday, until she meets John Marques, a militant Mexican poet who breathes life into her glitterati world. He's into picket lines; she's into picket fences. They bond over poetry and a marginalized existence. During their relationship, Vida sheds her fashionista demeanor and adopts a more radical lifestyle. But on her journey from Fendi to Fanon, a heartbreaking revelation threatens to shatter her newfound confidence and freedom. The Resurrección of Vida crosses racial and cultural borders, and is the story of love and liberation.

Presents an illustrated examination of some of the major events in the life of Jesus Christ that emphasizes the last week of his life, his death, and resurrection, with bible quotes and prayers that accompany each segment.
