About This Book

Ybor City, Florida, seems to be a happy, secure place in 1958. Three aging sisters - Mina, Clemencia, and Dolores - look forward to seeing their children, in-laws, and grandchildren come for a pleasant visit to this quiet, blue-collar neighborhood that all three call home. But beneath the calm surface, fierce currents surge: old family rivalries, sexual intrigues, class envies, political antagonism, even borderline criminal activity. No one has realized it yet, but this proud Cuban-American clan stands on the brink of a terrible fall.
