A Song for Adelita (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798218823863)

"Why do you have me in that house, tía?"

This is the question heavy on Marcella's mind when she begrudgingly takes on renovating an old and long abandoned house for her hostile, domineering aunt, Delfina. She will soon come to find out that the true reason her aunt is plotting to keep her close involves a decades-long search for family she was never told about.

Delfina has spent much of her life, even after crossing over into Texas, trying to find out what became of her sister after she left to join a faction of Mexican revolutionary fighters. At times, it has felt like a hopeless cause as people have a way of burying the painful things they don't wish to talk about.

A Song for Adelita tells the haunting story of a family's tireless search for truth and the betrayal they'll uncover along the way.
