What does it mean to call a place "home"?
Jeanine Cummins, #1 New York Times bestselling author, returns with the moving story of a Puerto Rican family across multiple generations.
San Juan, Puerto Rico, 1968: Despite certain doubts, Rafaela Acuña y Daubón decides to marry Peter Brennan Jr. in a burst of romantic optimism. However, she is unaware of how dramatically her life will change when she uproots her young family from the island to settle in the American Midwest, nor how this will be the first of many disappointments in her life.
In the 1980s, witnessing her mother's isolation in Missouri, Rafaela's daughter, Ruth, decides to abandon the language, customs, and memories of her childhood in Puerto Rico.
When a hurricane devastates the island in 2023 and leaves Daisy, Ruth's daughter, severely injured, mother and grandmother return to the city where it all began. As they care for Daisy, both women revisit the disappointments, loves, risks, and triumphs that shaped their lives. These memories also uncover hidden secrets that make them question their place in the world.
Una profunda y vibrante reflexión sobre familia e identidad a través de una historia de madres e hijas que luchan por encontrar su camino de regreso a casa.
