«El detén (Palabra menor)» is the novel by Claribel Alegría, in paperback.
A teenager is sent to a convent school to escape her stepfather's harassment, but there she discovers a closed and hostile world, very different from the refuge she expected. Through that experience, the novel addresses injustice, memory, and resistance in the face of adversity.
El detén was originally published in 1977; this edition has 76 pages and is in Spanish.
