An evening on October 1973, at dinner, Dení rose from the table and said to her family: - I will be back in a while... and she left to join the guerrilla, to the house that the National Liberation Forces had in Nepantla, a town 50 miles from Mexico City. Four months later the army with rifles and grenades assaulted the house. Four comrades and Dení, who was only 19 years old, were killed.
At 19, Deni Prieto Stock joined a guerrilla group and, four months later, on February 14, 1974, was murdered by the Mexican army in Nepantla, Mexico State together with four companions. A series of testimonials allow us to get to know the family and social circumstances that influenced Deni 's path; we also discover the ties of love and friendship she found in the safe house, her daily life in the underground and the discipline and aspirations she shared with her fellow guerrillas.
