How I killed my father

Sara Jaramillo Klintkert delves into her deepest memories and bravely confronts her fears and ghosts, using the act of writing in an attempt to detach herself from the pain. In delicate language, she tells us the terrible impact of the assassination of her father by a hired killer when she was eleven years old.

In "How I Killed My Father," the author employs a candid, autobiographical style that will shock and touch the reader from the very first line. It's not just about pain and abandonment and how a person copes with them in every possible way; it's also about the image of the father, mother, brother, and family as a whole, and about many things one might think they know, but don't truly know.
