Book excerpt: From the award-winning, best-selling author of When I Was Puerto Rican, a powerful novel of family, race, faith, sex, and disaster that moves between Puerto Rico and the Bronx, revealing the lives and loves of five women and the secret that binds them together They refer to themselves as “las Madres,” a close-knit group of women who, with their daughters, have created a family based on friendship and blood ties.Their story begins in Puerto Rico in 1975 when fifteen-year-old Luz, the tallest girl in her dance academy and the only Black one in a sea of petite, light-skinned, delicate swans, is seriously injured in a car accident. Tragically, her brilliant, multilingual scientist parents are both killed in the crash. Now orphaned, Luz navigates the pressures of adolescence and copes with the aftershock of a brain injury, when two new friends enter her life, Ada and Shirley. Luz’s days are consumed with aches and pains, and her memory of the accident is wiped clean, but she suffers spells that send her mind to times and places she can’t share with others. In 2017, in the Bronx, Luz’s adult daughter, Marysol, wishes she better understood her. But how can she when her mother barely remembers her own life? To help, Ada and Shirley’s daughter, Graciela, suggests a vacation in Puerto Rico for the extended group, as an opportunity for Luz to unearth long-buried memories and for Marysol to learn more about her mother’s early life. But despite all their careful planning, two hurricanes, back-to-back, disrupt their homecoming, and a secret is revealed that blows their lives wide open. In a voice that sings with warmth, humor, friendship, and pride, celebrated author Esmeralda Santiago unspools a story of women’s sexuality, shame, disability, and love within a community rocked by disaster.

Download or read book Secrets of Forbidden Love written by Candida R. Devito and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-04 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Secrets of Forbidden Love: My True Life Story chronicles the improbable love story of Cándida and Father Andrew and their struggle to be true to themselves in the face of immense cultural and religious scandal. It is a moving story that documents the daily choice that each of us must make: Either to live a life that honors the truth of who we are or to live other people's lives and expectations. This story is about the former and the intense joy and suffering that accompanies this choice. This book is also about the emotional and spiritual maturation of Cándida as she survives child abuse, discrimination, and sexism. Cándida discovers that she is more than a peasant girl from the remote village of Las Limas, Honduras. She discovers an inner strength that forces her not only to survive but even to thrive in the most horrifi c circumstances. Most importantly, this book is about the power of love and forgiveness. Cándida does not allow her pain and sorrow to harden her heart but she allows it to transform her. Rather than developing a heart of stone, she embraces a heart of great compassion. In the tradition of famous Spanish authors, such as Gabriel García Márquez, Secrets of Forbidden Love explores the nature of true love. However, unlike Márquez, love is not found "in the time of Cholera" but in the dreams of a poor peasant girl who found out that she was much more than she ever imagined.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the living, the dead, and the people stuck somewhere in between, Heron Creek has become a battleground. Graciela Harper might be new seeing ghosts, fighting curses, and just living with her old friends again, but there’s no doubt she’s on the front lines—and overwhelmed. Leo and Mel have been arrested. Amelia teeters on the edge of a deep depression that could cost her her child. Beau, her boyfriend who might not quite be her boyfriend anymore, is breaking her heart. None of that will matter if Gracie can’t figure out how to break the hundreds year old curse on the male line of her family. She knows she needs to focus on that, but with the future of one of South Carolina’s oldest and most prestigious families hanging in the balance, she’s tempted to try to save them, too. What Gracie’s about to learn is that she can’t do this alone, and every single person who has entered her life since her return to Heron Creek will need to pitch in for her to succeed. Well, that and the fact that she might not be able to save everyone…not even herself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this moving and funny memoir, award-winning playwright Guillermo Reyes untangles his life as the secretly illegitimate son of a Chilean immigrant to the United States and as a young man struggling with sexual repression, body image, and gay identity. But this is a double-decker memoir that also tells the poignant, bittersweet, and adventurous story of Guillermo’s mother, María, who supports herself and her son cleaning houses and then working as a nanny in Washington, D.C. and eventually in Hollywood. In one memorable scene, after realizing that her friend Carmen is cleaning the house of one of the producers of Annie Hall, María recruits her to take her picture as she poses dramatically with Mr. Joffe’s Oscar in hand. It is María’s defiant yet determined attitude amidst her sacrifices that allows for Guillermo’s spirited coming of age and coming out. Their common ground is the drama of their encounters with discovery, heartbreak, and passion—the explosive emotions that light up the stage of their two-actor theater.
