ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


What does it mean to call a place "home"?


Jeanine Cummins, #1 New York Times bestselling author, returns with the moving story of a Puerto Rican family across multiple generations.


San Juan, Puerto Rico, 1968: Despite certain doubts, Rafaela Acu a y Daub n decides to marry Peter Brennan Jr. in a burst of romantic optimism. However, she is unaware of how dramatically her life will change when she uproots her young family from the island to settle in the American Midwest, nor how this will be the first of many disappointments in her life.


In the 1980s, witnessing her mother's isolation in Missouri, Rafaela's daughter, Ruth, only wants to adapt to the world around her, letting go of her language, customs, and childhood memories of Puerto Rico. It will not be until many years later, when Ruth's own daughter, Daisy, returns to San Juan, that mother and grandmother begin to reflect on the choices that defined their lives.


When a hurricane devastates the island in 2023 and leaves Daisy gravely injured, Rafaela and Ruth return to the city where it all began. As they care for Daisy, both women remember the moments that brought them to where they are now. But along with the memories, hidden secrets also surface, making them question where they truly belong.


A profound and vibrant reflection on family and identity, H blame de casa (Speak to Me of Home) is a story of mothers and daughters struggling to discover a common language to find their way back home.
