Two-time International Latino Book Award-winning author Anjanette Delgado transports readers to Little Havana with her contemporary woman's fiction tale about a Cuban woman who has to come to terms with her clairvoyant past so she can clear her name and find love along the way. Two divorces have taught MMariela Estevez that she's better suited to being a mistress than a wife. Whose heart needs all that "forever after" trouble? Still, her affair with her married lover, Hector, has become problematic--especially because he's also a tenant in her apartment building in the heart of Miami's Calle Ocho in Little Havana. But when Hector is found dead just steps from MMariela's back door, on the eve of her fortieth birthday, she's forced to examine her life--and come up with a plan to save it, fast... Complicating matters, Hector's passing sparks the unexpected return of a gift MMariela rejected years ago and thought she'd never have to face again: clairvoyance. Suddenly, MMariela's visions come swiftly and unbidden, as do revelations about her other tenants. Lost loves, hidden yearnings, old jealousies--all reside on Calle Ocho. Most of all, MMariela's second sight awakens her not just to the truth about Hector's death and the secrets in others' lives--but to the possibilities blooming within her own. With warmth, wit, and insight, Anjanette Delgado explores one woman's flawed but heartfelt attempt to live and love well, transporting readers to a community of uniquely human, unforgettable characters.
