The year is 1992 and Sam Rivas, a devoted wife and mother, must follow her husband, a hard-working businessman, to Costa Rica. His recent job transfer forces them to leave their seventeen-year-old daughter, a student at Seton Hall University, back in the States. To endure the longing and sorrow of separation from her child, Sam keeps a journal recording the small victories and frequent hardships of each day. In her fiction debut, Silvie Vargas presents readers with one woman's humorous and poignant journey through a year of cultural dislocation, family crisis, and self-discovery.
