After years of emotional and spiritual abuse in Algeria, María does the unthinkable: she crosses a border alone and leaves her children behind to save her own life. The world calls it abandonment. She calls it survival.Told with the tension of a psychological thriller and the intimacy of a confession, SIN ROSTRO (FACELESS) follows María through courts, religious expectations, migration systems, and one dangerously timed love story, as she fights the guilt, rage, and fragile hope that come with choosing herself.For readers drawn to messy, morally complex women and stories about love after violence, this book asks a single, uncomfortable question: when saving your own life costs you your children, are you still allowed to call yourself a mother?.
