A Novel
This is a companion website to Revolutions: A Novel (presently seeking representation). The manuscript is finished and going through the final editing process.
It’s been on a long journey, from the first whisperings I heard from the child narrator who insisted that I tell her story her way, through years of writing while being part of a thrice-yearly group run by an editor, and—at last— through finishing a long manuscript and on to beta readers, copywriters, and more editors. Along the way, it has been rewritten and restructured many times, leading me to undertake a course of study to become a structural editor myself.
More news of its journey and upcoming launch will be posted on this page.
In the meantime, enjoy this this historical and cultural content, which is the result of extensive research.
Revolutions: A Novel is a coming-of-age historical drama set against the dramatic upheaval of the Cuban Revolution and the cultural revolutions of 1960s in theUnited States.
When a young AfroCuban girl departs La Habana in the 1960s after the Castro-led Revolution with the beloved grandmother she calls Mamá, she arrives in a bitterly cold Manhattan and meets the mother who abandoned her at birth. Ripped from one world and forced to find her place in another, Evolín battles racism, sexism, and loss in a multicultural quest for belonging and independence.
