      ‘The best thing you can be in Mexico is an ugly girl.’On the mountainside in rural Mexico where Ladydi lives, being a girl is dangerous. Because the stolen girls don’t come back. Ladydi is determined to get out, to find a life that offers more than just the struggle to survive.

      ‘Now we make you ugly,’ my mother said. ‘The best thing you can be in Mexico is an ugly girl.’

      On the mountainside in rural Mexico where Ladydi lives, being a girl is dangerous. Especially a pretty one. If the Narcos hear there is a pretty girl on the mountain, they steal her. So when the black SUVs roll into town, Ladydi and her friends hide in the warren of holes scattered across the mountain, safely out of sight. Because the stolen girls don’t come back.

      Ladydi is determined to get out, to find a life that offers more than just the struggle to survive. But she soon finds that the drug cartels have eyes everywhere, and the cities are no safer than the mountains.
