The Painted Pink Dress

Coming Summer 2024

From her earliest memories, Minu Becerra battled with an unsettling sense of otherness within her home. It wasn’t just her peculiar name, but also her light skin and cinnamon-swirl hair–so unlike the dark features of her Mexican family–that drew comments from neighbors, strangers, and even her own father. 

While wrestling with her identity, Minu faced the harsh realities of her father's aggression, her mother's negligence, and the constant desire to escape the treacherous town of Cashion, Arizona. 

Determined to carve out her own destiny, Minu embarks on a journey to uncover the mysteries of her past. But after decades of lies and mistreatment, can she finally face the one person who holds a lifetime of answers?

The Painted Pink Dress is an extraordinary true story of one woman's quest to find her strength and unlock the secrets hidden from her for more than four decades.
