The Girl from White Creek

By Betty Viamontes

Book Overview

From the award-winning author of Waiting on Zapote Street, winner of the Latino Books Into Movies award.

In this sweeping epic inspired by true events, readers are transported to 1955 Camag ey, deep in the heartland of Cuba. The tranquil town of Arroyo Blanco-named for the life-giving creeks that flow through it-stands on the brink of irreversible change. As the seeds of Castro's revolution begin to take root, the traditions and quiet rhythms of this close-knit community are threatened by a gathering storm of political and social upheaval.

At the center of it all is Madeline, a spirited young woman caught between a fading past and an uncertain future. As chaos encroaches, she must fight to protect everything she holds dear-her family, her identity, and the man she loves. But amid the ruins of certainty, will she discover love and meaning? Or will the forces of history erase all that she is?
