From the author of the award-winning "Waiting on Zapote Street." On the night of September 15, 1961, when two mothers, Andrea and Maritza, give birth, the emergency room of La Covadonga Hospital in Havana is very crowded. Andrea, who is just a teenager, immigrates to the United States alone to start a new life. Circumstances force her to leave her newborn girl in Cuba. Maritza remains on the island with her daughter, Polina. There, she will be forced to face the consequences of the events unfolding in the island nation. As the social, economic, and political situation within Cuba deteriorates, Maritza and her husband Tomás protect Polina by hiding the horrors of the new government. Great-grandmother Reimunda, who is a vocal opponent of the regime, warns them of the drawbacks of hiding the truth. But this is not the only truth hidden from Polina. Without realizing it, she follows a convoluted path and unravels all the secrets that have been hidden from her.
