"Reina Castillo is [an] alluring young woman whose beloved brother is serving a death sentence for a crime that shocked the community: throwing a baby off a bridge--a crime for which Reina secretly blames herself. With her brother's death, though devastated and in mourning, Reina is finally released from her prison vigil. Seeking anonymity, she moves to a sleepy town in the Florida Keys where she meets Nesto Cadena, a recently exiled Cuban awaiting with hope the arrival of the children he left behind in Havana"--Amazon.com.

I liked this book more than I thought I would. The main character struggles through many emotions and difficult circumstances and I find her relatable throughout. Lots of Spanish throughout so if you are not fluent, I would recommend have the ability to translate near. Most can be discerned from context but even with a fair amount of Spanish classes, I still had to look quite a few things up.
