A book about family; a sister who is part of a sisterhood. It's hard not to relate to the sisters who are searching for the oldest, the wild one. After her husband dies, Antonia develops a new family and learns how to do things she's never done. Interspersed with bits of literature, the writing is lyric and soulful.
Incredibly beautiful writing about grief, family, and community along with small truisms about life that are exactly right. Antonia has a hole in her heart after her husband's death but she decides to honor him by embodying what she loved about him. When faced with a tough situation she chooses to say, "Let's see what love can do." The tough situations here include a sister in need of mental health care and a pregnant immigrant teen.
