Her latest novel tells the story of Rafaela Acuña y Daubón after she uproots her young family from Puerto Rico to start over in St. Louis, Missouri. But when Rafaela’s granddaughter is critically injured in San Juan, Rafaela and her daughter, Ruth, quickly travel to Puerto Rico to gather at her side. Their homecoming is anything but simple, as old memories and long-buried secrets come to light. SPEAK TO ME OF HOME is a touching exploration of marriage, family, and identity that spans decades.
