Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In this lyrical novel set in a Cuban-American neighborhood in Miami, three generations of women face an unexpected--and ultimately life-changing--trial. When Maribel, an overly cautious and orderly market analyst, gives birth to a severely handicapped baby, her mother, Adela, and her grandmother Cuca must put aside their differences to fill his short life with love. This means more than just a shift in attitude for Cuca, who speaks regularly to her deceased husband, and for Adela, a middle-aged beautician with a penchant for the lottery and her friend's husband. <p/> Poetic and poignant, spiritual and deeply human, <i>The Chin Kiss King</i> explores the resiliency of mothers, the power of love, the hopefulness of redemption, and the meaning of faith in an unforgettable story of family and the ties that bind. <br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"As sweet and tart as the tropical fruits that are savored by the ebullient trio of Cuban-American women at [the novel's] heart." --<i>The New York Times Book Review</i> <p/> "A powerful and haunting story of the world of our spirits and spirituality . . . bewitching for its lyricism and for its evocative powers." --<i>The</i><i>Boston Globe</i> <p/> "This is the truest book about maternal fortitude and devotion that I have ever read, one that deserves celebration." --<i>The News & Observer </i> <p/> "A tenderly moving debut . . . luminously written, that is also a loving grace note to family and the human spirit." --<i>Kirkus Reviews</i> <br><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Ana Veciana-Suarez is a syndicated columnist at the <i>Miami Herald</i>.
