About this item
In the tender and twisty debut novel "Tell It to Me Singing," author (Name) explores the complexities of identity, family ties, and the lasting impact of buried secrets within a Cuban American family.
Monica Campo's world is turned upside down when her mother drops a bombshell just moments before undergoing emergency heart surgery: Monica's biological father is not the man who raised her. This revelation plunges Monica into a tailspin of confusion and doubt. As her mother struggles with delusional episodes post-surgery, Monica grapples with the uncertainty of whether her mother's confession was real or a product of her nightly telenovela-inspired fantasies.
Desperate for clarity, Monica seeks solace in her ex-boyfriend Manny, prompting her to question her current relationship with her fiancé and the impending arrival of her first child. Her quest for truth leads her deep into her family's past, tracing back to the early 1980s when her parents arrived in Miami from Cuba during the Mariel boatlift. Through her investigation, Monica uncovers secrets from the tumultuous 1970s in Cuba, a decade marked by clandestine resistance against Castro's regime—a world her mother was deeply entrenched in alongside the man she claims is Monica's biological father.
As Monica's journey unfolds from Miami to Cuba and the jungles of Costa Rica, "Tell It to Me Singing" navigates themes of belonging, heritage, and the quest for personal truth. It explores the intricacies of building a life amidst cultural displacement and political turmoil, questioning what defines a family and where true belonging lies.
With evocative storytelling and rich cultural detail, (Author's Name) crafts a narrative that resonates with emotional depth and a poignant exploration of identity and homecoming. "Tell It to Me Singing" promises readers a compelling journey of discovery and reconciliation within the tapestry of a Cuban American family's history. ❤️📚❤️
