In 1960, the three sisters Patria, Minerva, and María Teresa Mirabal, code-named Las Mariposas (The Butterflies) by a Dominican underground resistance movement, were assassinated by order of dictator Rafael Trujillo. Alive in Their Garden is the memoir of Dedé Mirabal, their surviving sister, who for decades kept her sisters alive in Dominican memory. This is the first English translation of Dedés story, an intimate account of a tragedy and the international outcry that, for many, heralded the fall of the Trujillo dictatorship.
