Description
Clara Lugo has built a stable life far from the Dominican neighborhood of her youth, balancing her career as a librarian, her American husband and son, and the expectations of a spirited extended family. But when Tito, a former boyfriend, returns after fifteen years, old feelings and an unresolved secret force Clara to confront the past she thought she had left behind. Set between Manhattan and suburban New Jersey, this thoughtful novel explores love, family loyalty, cultural identity, assimilation, and the complicated ways people outgrow—or remain bound to—their origins.
