Story
Antonia Vega, the immigrant writer at the center of Afterlife, has had the rug pulled out from under her. She has just retired from the college where she taught English when her beloved husband, Sam, suddenly dies. And then more jolts: her bighearted but unstable sister disappears, and Antonia returns home one evening to find a pregnant, undocumented teenager on her doorstep.

Story
Alma Cruz ha decidido ponerle punto final a su carrera de escritora, pero teme acabar como su amiga, una exitosa novelista arrastrada a la locura por un libro que jamás terminó de escribir. Por eso, cuando hereda un modesto terreno en República Dominicana, se le ocurre sepultar allí sus decenas de manuscritos inconclusos. Quiere que descansen en paz en la misma tierra donde yacen sus raíces.

Story
Con lírica simplicidad, El cuento del cafecito es una historia de amor. De amor a la tierra, que, exhausta, ha dejado de devolvernos más de lo que le damos. De amor a la naturaleza, que, exhausta, tiene pocas ganas de sonreírnos. De amor a las palabras, que, exhaustas, que manipuladas, tergiversadas, heridas, han perdido significado. Y de amor al amor, que, al fin y al cabo, ¿no es el peso del mundo? Los mejores relatos para escuchar donde quieras.

Story
The quinceañera, the 15th birthday celebration for a Latina girl, is quickly becoming an American event. This legendary party is a sight to behold: lavish ball gowns, extravagant catered meals, DJs, limousines, and multi-tiered cakes. The must haves for a "quince" are becoming as numerous and costly as a prom or wedding. And yet, this elaborate ritual also hearkens back to traditions from native countries and communities, offering young Latinas a chance to connect with their heritage.
