| Summary |
"Swept away from a tiny agricultural village in Puerto Rico to a crowded, snow-covered urban street in Hartford, CT, on her wedding day in January 1952, Ana Garnier Cólon, endured a long, painful struggle to establish her true identity as the daughter of a wealthy Puerto Rican sugarcane plantation owner. It was not until almost two decades later that she found acceptance in the family that rejected her. Ana Aurea is part a gripping mystery, part a loving memoir, by her daughter Madelyn Cólon, that captures both Hartford and Puerto Rico at a tumultuous time of economic and cultural change."--Back cover. |
