Mamá

31-year-old Nikki Eaton is single, sexually liberated and economically self-supported. She has never particularly thought of herself as a daughter, but the unexpected loss of her mother leads her to rethink everything she had thought of life and herself. A tumultuous year of mourning will bring sorrow and wisdom, as well as an unexpected and nurturing love. This is a candid, engaging and personal novel about mothers and daughters from one of the greatest American novelists alive today.
