Matriarchs like Mercy Amado--despite her drunken, philandering (now ex) husband--could raise three daughters and become a teacher. Now she watches helplessly as her daughters drift apart as adults. The Latino bonds of familia don't seem to hold. Celeste, the oldest daughter who won't speak to the youngest, is fiercely intelligent and proud. She has fled the uncertainty of her growing up in Los Angeles to financial independence in San Jose. Her sisters did the same thing but very differently. Sylvia married a rich but abusive Anglo, and, to hide away, she immersed herself in the suburbia of her two young daughters. And Nataly, the baby, went very hip into the free-spirited Latino art world, working on her textile creations during the day and waiting on tables in an upscale restaurant by night. Everything they know comes crashing down in a random tragic moment and Mercy must somehow make what was broken whole again"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Hispanic Americans $v Fiction. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008105644 650 0 $a Hispanic American women $v Fiction. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008121637 650 0 $a Sisters $v Fiction. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008111400 650 0 $a Mothers and daughters $v Fiction. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008107237 650 0 $a Hispanic American families $v Fiction. 650 7 $a FICTION / Literary. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Contemporary Women. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Family Life. $2 bisacsh 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026295 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026339 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180112053131.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=88AAADC2F76711E7BF59292497128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
