Sunday's Child

<p>It all starts with one little lie: “I wasn’t even born on Sunday.” Dominga Garcia says it without much thought as she drives Nico home from the martial arts studio on a hot summer day. Although separated by a generation the two are also connected by the deep traditions of their Puerto Rican neighborhood in east Houston. It seems almost too obvious that they will become lovers.</p><p>Dominga knew better than to tell that lie. Even the smallest fib can cause loads of trouble a lesson she learned as a teenager. Still Nico laughed when she said it and Dominga wanted what she wanted even if scheming was the only way to get it. So begins a whirlwind romance filled with passion and play but everything is not as it seems.</p><p>Dominga is soon reminded that one lie leads to another and another and in the end it’s hard to keep all her stories straight. But a spider always remembers her own threads and Dominga is sure she’ll come out of her predicament with exactly what – and whom – she wants.</p><p>What she isn’t counting on is the fact the she isn’t the only one lying.</p>
