Description

A powerful and poignant novel about family secrets and the search for identity. Hero De Vera arrives in America with a troubled past, one that she keeps hidden from her uncle Pol and his wife Paz. But when Roni, their daughter, asks why Hero's hands seem to scream with hurt, it becomes clear that some wounds run too deep to be easily concealed.

As Hero navigates this new life in the Bay Area, she finds solace in unexpected places - with Rosalyn, a fierce and open-hearted beautician who sees beyond her tough exterior. But can Rosalyn help Hero confront the pain of her past and find a way to heal?

This moving novel explores the complexities of family relationships, identity, and the search for belonging. With its vivid characters and nuanced exploration of the human experience, it is a worthwhile read for anyone who has ever struggled to find their place in the world.
