‘She has to get to Daisy immediately. And here is a monster in her path.’
It is a Tuesday evening in June when Ruth receives the phone call that all parents dread. Her daughter Daisy has been hit by a car during a deadly storm in Puerto Rico.
How Ruth wishes she could tell Daisy she loves her. That she is sorry her own muddy feelings about Daisy’s move to San Juan caused them to fight. What a waste of precious breath.
Instinctively, it’s her mother, Rafaela, Ruth wants to turn to. Rafaela whose own memories of growing up in Puerto Rico are becoming ever more vivid, as have her sudden flashes of forgetfulness.
Can Rafaela close the gap between her daughter and granddaughter?
Can she bring them home, before it’s too late?
