    Teresa Cortez

    Teresa Cortez is the nom-de-plume of the author, whose identity and whereabouts must remain unknown. As a girl born into wealth, the niece of the deposed dictator, and the sister of four brothers who served in the military, her life continues to be in danger from certain elements that continue to fight a brutal war that technically ended in 1992, twelve bloody years after its beginning. She lives peacefully with her husband somewhere in the western half of the United States. The Eyes That Have Cried is the story of her survival and triumph.
