Big Chicas Don't CryBig Chicas Don't Cry

Four cousins, who were exceptionally close as children, have grown apart and are struggling with their own issues. When tragedy reunites them, will they remember their abuelita's lessons about family and forgiveness--or is a fifteen-year separation too much to overcome?
Mari, Erica, Selena, and Gracie are inseparable. They weren't just cousins, but best friends: sharing secrets, traditions, and a fierce love for their abuelita. Then Mari's parents divorced, forcing her to move away. With Mari gone, the girls' bond unraveled. Fifteen years later, Mari's life is in shambles. Erica's boyfriend just dumped her. Selena is not Mexican enough for her family, not white enough for her colleagues. And Gracie is a Catholic school teacher who can't trust herself when it comes to romance. When tragedy reunites them, will they remember their abuelita's lessons about family and forgiveness-- or are fifteen years of separation too much to overcome? -- adapted from back cover
