Daughter of Carmen, a Cuban immigrant, she is determined to learn more about her family history from her reticent mother and makes the snap decision to take in the daughter of a neighbor detained by ICE. Carmen, still wrestling with the trauma of displacement, must process her difficult relationship with her own mother while trying to raise a wayward Jeanette. Steadfast in her quest for understanding, Jeanette travels to Cuba to see her grandmother and reckon with secrets from the past destined to erupt.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom 19th-century cigar factories to present-day detention centers, from Cuba to Mexico, Gabriela Garcia's \u003ci\u003e Of Women and Salt\u003c\/i\u003e is a kaleidoscopic portrait of betrayals—personal and political, self-inflicted and those done by others—that have shaped the lives of these extraordinary women. A haunting meditation on the choices of mothers, the legacy of the memories they carry, and the tenacity of women who choose to tell their stories despite those who wish to silence them, this is more than a diaspora story; it is a story of America’s most tangled, honest, human roots.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garcia, Gabriela","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52337151410450,"sku":"9781250776686","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/9238\/5846\/files\/8681793482633_1e6d6517-de5d-4361-a6f7-4d0fd17a4a27.jpg?v=1780434456","url":"https:\/\/hbswarehousesale.com\/products\/of-women-and-salt-hardcover","provider":"Harvard Book Store Warehouse Sale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
