(Erika L. Snchez) In 1951, a mysterious old woman confronts Pilar Aguirre in the small border town of La Cienega, Texas. The old woman is sure Pilar stole her husband and, in a heated outburst, lays a curse on Pilar and her family. Their unexpected kinship picks at the secrets of Lulu's family's past. As the quinceaera looms-and we move between these two strong, irascible female voices-one woman must make peace with the past, and one girl pushes to embrace her future. Rich with cinematic details-from dusty rodeos to the excitement of a Selena concert and the comfort of conjunto ballads played at family gatherings-this memorable debut is a love letter to the Tejano culture and community that sustain both of these women as they discover what family means.
