Description
A Cuban American family's lives are turned upside down when their matriarch reveals a shocking secret to her daughter just days before undergoing emergency surgery. As Mónica Campo struggles to come to terms with the truth, she finds herself questioning everything she thought she knew about her past and her relationships. The story takes readers on a journey through the early '80s, when the family arrived in Cuba on the famous Mariel boatlift, and the tumultuous '70s, when some people were still fighting against Castro's regime. Along the way, Mónica searches for answers that lead her to new understandings of the past and the question of how and to whom we belong. With its rich portrait of a family and its exploration of themes such as identity, belonging, and the complexities of relationships, this novel is a thought-provoking and engaging read.
