Mamey [ma-may] is about the enduring power of family bonds that can both create and heal our deepest wounds.

When Dena's mother, Gloria, passes, she must return to la Repºblica Dominicana for la novena: nine days of prayer dedicated to the deceased. At the funeral, a mysterious event hints at a long-buried secret. With the help of a handsome campesino, Dena begins to reconnect with her breathtaking motherland and uncover Gloria's enigmatic past.

Growing up in rural DR, Gloria's life was marked by duty, as she worked to pick and peel fruit for her family's dulce business. Everything changed when she met a boy at the finca. Torn between her heart and the promise of freedom, she had to make sacrifices that redefined her family's destiny.

Industry Reviews

"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
