They Hold Grudges

By: Rojas, Diana

As a kid, Rob was his uncle Pablo's favorite, and the whole family knew it. Pablo's only flaw was his wife, Mara, whom everyone called idiosyncratic--or plain crazy--and their son, Pablito, who took after her. But they all loved Pablo, so they put up with his wife and son and lived by the Golden Family Rule: no serious quarrels, no harboring of resentments, no anger, no grudges. Many years later, Pablito brings an accusation against Rob that punctures the harmony. If they ignore it, will it simply go away? Does anyone even believe Pablito? Gossip and whispers swirl, unleashing doubts, paranoia and betrayal, while Rob embarks on a desperate quest to clear his name. They Hold Grudges is a riveting exploration of the lines we draw between loyalty and truth. With layered, taut prose, it examines what we're willing to sacrifice to keep the peace, and what remains if the truth is buried.
