Tuttilo: A Powerful Mexican-American Novel of Family Secrets and Generational Healing
In the Sandoval apartment, silence isn't just an absence of sound-it's a living, breathing entity, a weight passed down from one generation to the next.
For Tuttilo, the youngest of three brothers, this quiet is a language he can't escape. He is a sponge for the unspoken emotions that saturate his family's world: his father Marco's impenetrable stoicism, his mother's quiet sorrow, and the simmering frustrations of his older brothers, Gabriel and Tony. While his brothers learn to deflect or defy the crushing weight of their father's presence, Tuttilo learns to absorb it all, becoming a silent observer of the invisible currents that threaten to pull his family apart.
Spanning decades in the vibrant, tight-knit community of El Paso's Lower Valley,
Tuttilo is a powerful and poignant family saga that follows the three Sandoval brothers as they navigate the treacherous landscape of their shared history. Forged in the crucible of their childhood, a secret pact promises to be their ticket to a new life, but as the brothers are scattered by ambition and hardship, their bond is stretched to its breaking point. It falls to Tuttilo, the one who stayed behind, to confront the ghosts of their past and begin the painstaking work of
generational healing.
Perfect for readers of sweeping, character-driven
literary fiction and fans of authors who explore the intricate depths of family dynamics, Tuttilo is a profound novel about the burdens we inherit and the strength it takes to set them down. It is a story of
brotherhood, forgiveness, and the quiet, extraordinary power of empathy to heal the deepest of wounds.
