Emotions, spontaneity, questions and answers and a beautiful lesson on migrating Monarchs fills the pages of this road trip novel. Luz, Abuela, Ofelia, Stacie, Margaret - all strong women with backgrounds as diverse as their looks and experiences. And we can not forget El Toro, who turns out to be more like Ferdinand.
Ms. Monroe has created a story that flows not only from north to south but from generation to generation with Spanish, lepidopterology, botany and horticulture lessons to lead us on Luz's journey. (Yes, I had to look up the spellings and meanings.)
Highly recommend for any woman wanting to remember, re-discover or re-connect! Oh and you'll want to kiss your mom, sister, best girlfriend and even your dog once you've finished reading.
