“FIRST NOVEL IS A BRILLIANT BEGINNING: Some first novels give the feeling of having grown in a chrysalis, only to emerge at the very height of readiness. Sylvia Sellers-García’s When the Ground Turns in Its Sleep is just that kind of novel… In what might be the book’s best asset, accomplished scholar and short-story writer Sellers-García evokes compassion as she describes historical events on the ground level.” – BookPage
