Aurora , now in her seventies and facing a devastating diagnosis, is finally ready to confront the ghosts of her past... a story shaped by tragedy, tradition, and a series of impossible choices that changed everything. In 1960's Mexico City, fourteen-year-old Pilar faces personal upheaval as she copes with her mother's abandonment, her father's unraveling, and the challenges of coming of age; all amidst a whirlwind of political unrest. Meanwhile, in modern-day California, Fer is balancing academic struggles that come with being a first generation Mexican-American college student, while simultaneously being torn between cultural expectations and her desire for self-discovery and belonging. Spanning generations and borders, invisible threads of resilience, loss, and love weave together these three women's lives. With humor and raw emotion, this novel celebrates family, destiny, and the choices that shape our story. "This is an authentic portrayal of latinas everywhere that it felt like I was sitting at my grandmother's kitchen table listening to my mother and her reveal a bit of their tightly concealed lore." -Mia Bones (author) "This book made me feel ALL the feels! The characters are beautifully written, and their stories vividly capture what it means to be a strong woman across different generations." -Bethany (reader/ GoodReads) "I loved this book. It was so well thought out and the three generations were woven together beautifully. I loved how the story showed the culture and assimilation to the United States and growing pains within a family through that process." -Stephanie Levy (reader/ GoodReads) Tanya Zuñiga is a first-gen Mexican-American writer, born and raised in San Diego, where she still lives with her high school sweetheart (now husband), their daughter, and their pug.
