Rosa Hugener was born and raised in Mexico and is the descendent of one of the most prominent families in Yucatan, a family that has included governors, senators, bishops, historians and journalists. Her family members were participants in many of the historical events described, and old family stories were what inspired Rosa first to researching, and then to writing about, the events in the book. Today, Rosa is a systems engineer who lives in the Chicago area

My grandmother was from Merida, Yucatan and she always told me fascinating stories about her life and that part of Mexico. After I came to the U.S., I was taking some English classes at DePaul University and was asked to write a story in one of those classes. My professor liked the story, and this story basically evolved into Chapter 1 of Xtabentum. After taking a few years to focus on raising my kids, I decided to expand on this, and interweave real events from the life of my grandmother and other ancestors with the many interesting things that happened in Merida in the early 1900s, just after the Mexican Revolution.(less)

Rosy Hi my dear friends,
The Grasshopper Lost Its WingsI’m so happy to share that my new book, *The Grasshopper Lost Its Wings*, is now available on Amazon and Ingram!
This story has been very close to my heart—a journey through love, migration, and identity, from Mexico City to Chicago. Bringing it to life has meant so much to me, and I’m excited (and a little nervous!) to finally share it with you.
You can find it on Amazon, and it’s also available through Ingram, which means it should soon be accessible through libraries and bookstores as well.
If you do get a chance to read it, I would be incredibly grateful if you could leave a review on Goodreads or Amazon. Your support truly helps other readers discover the book.
Thank you for always being part of my journey—it means more than you know .
With love and gratitude,
Rosy
