Mamey

"Tender, evocative, and deeply moving, Mamey captures the complicated love between mothers and daughters with a breathtaking honesty that lingers long after the last page. It reveals how the past shapes us-and how love, even when imperfect, roots itself deep within us."

-Lauren E. Rico, author of Familia and After the Ocean 

"The women of the Vega family are painted in colors so rich and grounded that I felt I could map them over t­as and cousins in my own family. Infused with unapologetic Caribbean humor, Mamey is both a magical and relatable read." 

-Camille Gomera-Tavarez, author of High Spirits

"Mamey is an unforgettable narrative told in two languages that deftly explores the meaning of home, inheritance, and the unbreakable bonds that tie us to our mothers and our motherland. Caba weaves an honest and heart-wrenching story about the strength of our mothers, their survival, and the beauty of intergenerational stories."

-Maria Alejandra Barrios, author of The Waves Take You Home
