Produktbeschreibung

In Between You A River, Kimberly Garza returns with a haunting family saga, following two generations of women as they come of age and forge their own identities in spite of-and inspired by-their complicated familial legacy

On the island of Mindoro in the Philippines, the future of Corazon de la Cruz's family all depends on her. She'll be the first to immigrate to the U.S., go to college, and become a doctor to provide for her family back home. She can't remember whether this dream was ever her own, or if she even has a say in it. But when a fire mysteriously breaks out on the de la Cruz's land, the family splinters, and Corazon is faced with an impossible choice.

Decades later, Corazon's death has shaken her family to its very core, and her daughters are still picking up the pieces. Hannah and Mari are estranged from each other and from their roots in the Philippines when a distant cousin suddenly urges them to return to settle unresolved family business. Together for the first time in years-with each other and with their Filipino relatives-the sisters find that the fate of their family's ancestral land is somehow in their hands, and it's about to slip away. As they fight to protect their inheritance, they unearth long-buried secrets hidden from them by their beloved matriarch-about her life, their homeland, and themselves.

A lush family saga and a love letter to the Philippines, Between You a River follows two generations of the de la Cruzes as they confront the tensions between their familial legacies and their dreams for the future, their dual identities, and the lifelong push and pull of home.
