Sinopsis

Award-winning author Angie Cruz takes readers on a journey as one young woman must confront not only her own past of growing up in Washington Heights, but also her motherâÇÖs. At eighteen, Soledad couldnâÇÖt get away fast enough from her contentious family with their endless tragedies and petty fights. Two years later, sheâÇÖs an art student at Cooper Union with a gallery job and a hip East Village walk-up. But when Tía Gorda calls with the news that SoledadâÇÖs mother has lapsed into an emotional coma, she insists that SoledadâÇÖs return is the only cure. Fighting the memories of open hydrants, leering men, and slick-skinned teen girls with raunchy mouths and snapping gum, Soledad moves home to West 164th Street. As she tries to tame her cousin FlacaâÇÖs raucous behavior and to resist falling for Richie—,a soulful, intense man from the neighborhood—,she also faces the greatest challenge of her life: confronting the ghosts from her motherâÇÖs past and salvaging their damaged relationship. Evocative and wise, Soledad is a wondrous story of culture and chaos, family and integrity, myth and mysticism, from a Latina literary light.
