Family members, especially grandparents are a valuable source of inspiration. I grew up listening to my maternal grandmother's stories about her life, about my mother and what it was like to live in the Dominican Republic during a dictatorship. This memoir is a conversation I had with her not long after I returned from traveling to Puerto Rico and Mexico.
Life isn't sweet, but it doesn't have to be completely bitter. It is what we make of it and these poems and stories try to portray just that.That is why I have titled this book Dulces de Coco or Coconut Candies. This is a combination of the stories and poems that I have written. Many of the pieces in this book are inspired by my childhood, the stories my relatives have told me and my culture.
A couple is defied by a situation in the family with two of their nieces. What would they do to save the family? What will be the reaction of the girls when they know the truth? Can the parent be trusted again?
When a family of four, infamous for creating rediculous situations wherever they go, decide to test out their shrimping abilities, disaster strikes. Given a net, enough time and a penchant for clumsiness, one family manages to commit homicide and get robbed in the process.
Rebecca and Brianna run away after their father brutly kills their mother. The only problem is, they don't know where to go. Rebecca is the older sister of the two, and knows how to think everything out. Almost everything. Brianna is small, and sassy, but will that help in their future? They will both discover the importance they have in the world of werewolves and vampires. Even their cousion Elizabeth, has an important part in it. But they will have to go through many deaths, to go where no
Part One: A girl is riding the train to work and her reading is interrupted when an old man sits down across from her. This is a new style I'm trying out. I'm not sure how I feel about it. I might still give the girl and the old man names also...
