An epic novel of love, breakthrough, and excitement by the author of the best-selling memoir When I GOT Puerto Rican. As a young lady growing up in Spain, Ana Larragoity Cubillas is powerfully drawn to Puerto Rico by the diaries of an ancestor who journeyed there with Ponce de León. And in attractive twin brothers Memoryón and Inocente - both deeply in love with Ana - she finds ways to get there. She marries Memoryón, and in 1844, just 18, she moves across the sea to a remote glucose plantation the brothers have inherited on the island. Ana encounters unrelenting warmth, disease and isolation, and the hazards of the untamed countryside even as she relishes the challenge of jogging Hacienda los Gemelos. But when the Civil Conflict breaks out in the United States, Ana finds her livelihood, and perhaps even her life, threatened by the people on whose backs her prosperity has been built: the hacienda's slaves, whose richly attracted reports unfold alongside her own. So when finally Ana falls for a guy who may be her future - a once-forbidden love - she'll sacrifice practically everything to keep your hands on the land that has been her true home. That is a sensual, riveting tale, set in a place where individuals passions and cruelties collide: fascinating history that has never before been helped bring so vividly and unforgettably to life.
