"Glorieta Magdalena Davis Espinosa is happy that Papi married Alice. She's happy that he can smile again after years of mourning Mam?. But the urn containing Mam?'s ashes disappeared into a drawer the day Alice moved in. If everything about Glorieta's life is going to change, then she wants one thing to go her way: She wants to hear stories about her Mam? when the family gathers on the last night of los D?a de los Muertos. And that can only happen if Tia Diosonita will allow Mam? to be buried with the Espinosas in holy ground. If she will allow people to speak Mam?'s name. With the help of her best friend, River, and her cousin Mateo, Glorieta sets out to convince Diosonita that Mam? is not burning in Hell. To do so, she'll have to learn to let hate go--and to love the people who stand in her way"--Publisher.
