Consuelo, the elder, is thought of as pensive and book-loving, the serious child-la niña seria-while Mili, her younger sister, is seen as vivacious, a ray of tropical sunshine. Two daughters: one dark, one light; one to offer comfort and consolation, the other to charm and delight. But, for all the joy both girls should bring, something is not right in this Puerto Rican family; a tragedia is developing, like a tumor, at its core.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this fierce, funny, and sometimes startling novel, we follow a young woman's quest to negotiate her own terms of survival within the confines of her culture and her family.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003emagazine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Judith Ortiz Cofer has created a character who takes us by the hand on a journey of self-discovery.
