Her novel is the story of Cabañuelas Nena, who leaves Laredo,Texas for Madrid, Spain to research the historical roots of traditional fiestas in Laredo. She immerses herself into post-Franco Spain and its rich history while falling in love with a Spaniard gentleman who works in publishing. The outcome is a journey of self-discovery for the main character, who, through a variety of experiences, must decide how and where she can best be true to herself and her family.
