Unflinching, lyrical, and singular, The Last Karankawas is a portrait of America rarely witnessed, where browning palm trees and oily waters mark the forefront of ecological change. It is a deeply imagined exploration of familial inheritance, human perseverance, and the histories we assign to ourselves, establishing Kimberly Garza as a brilliant new literary voice"-- $c Provided by publisher. 520 $a Carly Castillo has only ever known Albacore Avenue. Abandoned as a child by her Filipina mother and Mexican-American father, Carly returns each morning from her nursing shift to the house she shares with her grandmother, Magdalena. But when Magdalena slips into dementia, Carly begins to imagine a life elsewhere. Jess Rivera, her boyfriend and all-star shortstop turned seaman, treasures the salty, familiar island air. Years ago, he had a chance to leave Galveston for a bigger city with more possibilities. But he didn't then, and he sure as hell won't now. Deftly moving through these characters' lives and those of the individuals who circle them--Mercedes, Jess's undocumented cousin; Kristin, Magdalena's daytime nurse; Luz, the wife of Carly's best friend; Schafer, Jess's coworker out on the gulf--Garza presents a mosaic depiction of everyday survival in Southern Texas. As word spreads of a storm gathering strength offshore, building into Hurricane Ike, they each must make a difficult decision: board up the windows and hunker down, or flee inland and abandon their hard-won home. 650 0 $a Desertion and non-support $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Hurricane Ike, 2008 $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Indigenous peoples $z America $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Hispanic Americans $z Texas $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Filipino Americans $z Texas $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Small cities $x Fiction. 651 0 $a Galveston (Tex.) $x Fiction. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Garza, Kimberly. $t Last karankawas $b First edition. $d New York : Henry Holt and Company, 2022 $z 9781250819864 $w (DLC) 2021060828 941 $a 14 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409042809.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314024257.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010024941.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20230822011226.0 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20230725010809.0 952 $l RQPC397 $d 20230525010238.0 952 $l EBPE325 $d 20230503010212.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230203020106.0 952 $l FPPC224 $d 20230103010340.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20221005014429.0 952 $l YWPD162 $d 20220922010149.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20220909011533.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20220902010928.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20220826010104.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=679CFFD4250411ED9371F9C93BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
