About this title

Synopsis

"These photos tell my mother's story of isolation, loneliness, abuse, connection, compassion, forgiveness, family, humanity, grace, joy, inspiration and love. It’s the story of a mother-daughter reconciliation. My mother is a symbol of perseverance.” Author Hannah Kozak ******* SIGNED COPIES: “He Threw The Last Punch Too Hard” by Los Angeles based photographer Hannah Kozak tells the story of her mother Rachel Zarco, a beautiful, passionate, vivacious, and fiery Guatemalan Sophia Loren type burnette who left Hannah and the family after she fell in love with another man.
