Then she meets Bashkim, who is at once both worldly and naive, a married man who left Albania to chase his dreams-and wound up working as a line cook in Waterbury, Connecticut. Back when the brass mills were still open, this bustling factory town drew one wave of immigrants after another. Now it's the place they can't seem to leave. Elsie, herself the granddaughter of Lithuanian immigrants, falls in love quickly, but when she learns that she's pregnant, Elsie cant help wondering where Bashkim's heart really lies, and what he'll do about the wife he left behind. Seventeen years later, headstrong and independent Luljeta receives a rejection letter from NYU and her first-ever suspension from school on the same day. Instead of striking out on her own in Manhattan, she's stuck in Connecticut with her mother, Elsie-a fate she refuses to accept. Wondering if the key to her future is unlocking the secrets of the past, Lulu decides to find out what exactly her mother has been hiding about the father she never knew. As she soon discovers, the truth is closer than she ever imagined."-- $c Provided by publisher. 655 0 $a Domestic fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. 650 7 $a FICTION / Cultural Heritage. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Family Life. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Literary. $2 bisacsh 941 $a 3 945 $a lpt 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722055438.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006114645.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180907030852.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=86D59D54B26511E8BB1AE23C97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
