About this item

A coming-of-age comedy. A telenovela-worthy drama. A moving family saga. All in a phone call you won't want to hang up on ... A young woman reckons with her rowdy, unpredictable family and the revelation of their long-buried history in this wildly inventive debut.. "Yes, hi, Mari. It's me. I'm over my tantrum and finally calling you back. But you have to promise that you won't say anything to Mom or Abue about this, okay? They'll set the house on fire if they find out ... " . Luciana is the baby of her large Colombian American family. And despite usually being relegated to the sidelines, she now finds herself the voice of reason in the middle of their unexpected crisis. Her older sister, Mari, is away at college and reduced to a mere listening ear on the other end of their many phone calls, so when South Florida residents are ordered to evacuate before a hurricane, it's up to Luciana to deal with her eccentric grandmother, Abue, who's refusing to leave.
