An impressive debut novel. It's a story of pain, love, suffering, and sadness, with writing that shines. The interwoven stories of mothers and daughters and their journeys and relationships are real in their depth and difficulties. Jeanette, her mother Carmen, Ana, and her mother Gloria, all travel through different roads of abuse; be it their husbands violence, deportation, drug use, or racism. Still, they manage in their own way to keep their heads up.
A little in the vein of Valentine.
