About this book

"After Queenie Wake is dismissed from her restaurant job, she returns to North Star to cook meals for death row inmates. Hopeful that the bad memories of her late mother and promiscuous sister (now the mother of the captain of the high school football team) have been forgotten by the locals, Queenie discovers that some people can't be forgotten--heartbreaker Everett Coburn--her old high-school sweetheart. When secrets from the past emerge, will Queenie be able to stick by her family or will she leave home again?"--P. [4] of cover.

Holy radishes!

Roberto G. Fernández

Ingenious, inventive, insane - Fernandez offers all this and more in a microcosm of paradise lost and hope everlasting. Exiled by a communist takeover from their rarified and privileged existence in Xawa, the wacky characters in Holy Radishes! pursue their dreams of recreating their former lives in the remote community of Belle Grande in the Florida Everglades. While Holy Radishes! is a parable of the Cuban immigrant community, it is foremost the story of Nelly Pardo, a dreamer who longs for the Eden called Mondovi and her truffle-loving pet pig Rigoletto. To fulfill her dreams for a better world Nelly forges an unlikely alliance, reflecting every women's capacity to endure, survive and conquer.
