"...she picked through the black wood, hoping to find something to salvage. She sat on an adobe block near what used to be the front door, and looked over Papa's rose garden. Flower-less stems were covered in soot. ...Esperanza surveyed the surviving victims: the twisted forms of wrought-iron chairs, unharmed cast-iron skillets, and the mortars and pestles form the kitchen that were made from lava rock and refused to burn. Then she saw the remains of the trunk that used to sit at the foot of her bed, the metal straps still intact. She stood up and hurried toward it, hoping for un milagro, a miracle. She looked closely, but all that remained were black cinders." --1st home (pg.43+44)
