Summary:
"Jessica Russo knows nothing about her mother's
family
or Cuban culture. Every time
she
's asked about it, her mother has shut down. But when the Cuban grandmother
she
's
never
met
sends her right-hand man, Luis, to offer Jessica the chance to come to Miami and meet her estranged
family
,
she
can't help but say yes, even as
she
knows it will pain her mother. The woman that Jessica meets is nothing like what
she
expected. Her grandmother is successful, intelligent, determined, and all too willing to take blame for what has happened to cause the estrangement, and, more importantly, to try and set things right. As Jessica spends time with her grandmother in her beautiful island home,
she
learns about her
family
's history and what caused the schism between her mother and grandmother. As days with her grandmother turn to weeks, Jessica is determined to find a way to heal her fractured
family
. And in the end, Jessica might just learn something about herself and what it means to embrace the many facets of her identity"--From publisher.
