Autorenporträt
Cecilia Domeyko was born in Chile and spent her childhood traveling to various parts of the world where she came in contact with a wide array of Latin American people and cultures. She had a long career as a news reporter, documentary filmmaker and scriptwriter. Among her important works directed at the Latino community is a bilingual campaign in which she wrote 55 ficcional programs that aired for a decade on Univision in the US and on Spanish CNN in 18 Latin American countries. The campaign won over 30 top film awards. The research for this long project for which she interviewed hundreds of migrant famliies and gathered important information about their challenges, hopes and dreams led to the writing of Sacrifice on the Border, a gripping story in which a child is stolen by his own father, an organ traficker who plans to sell the boy on the black market. The book is a riveting adventure and love story rolled into one, which keeps readers on their toes from beginning to end.
