With the help of her best friend, River, and her cousin Mateo, Glorieta sets out to convince Diosonita that Mam is not burning in Hell. To do so, she’ll have to learn to let hate goand to love the people who stand in her way. In prose that sparkles with magical undertones, author Kersten Hamilton weaves a tender story about grief, faith, and the redemptive power of love.
