Flowers for Maria Sucel

<p>Exile isn't always physical. In this saga of love courage and brokenness the author reflects on the journey of a suddenly impoverished family as they struggle to survive migration to a cold uncaring third-world capital. Trying desperately to keep body and soul together its members are torn apart by their inner exiles: A woman bearing child after child in silent submission to tradition. Children bewildered and detached by constant upheaval. A father's secret life and the bitter ostracism that turns him into a lonely stranger under the family roof.<strong> </strong>In <em>Flowers for María Sucel</em> love is a fragile yet enduring thing that blooms when least expected.</p>
