"A beautiful coming-of-age novel that will have the reader wrapped up with complicated feelings and long periods of deep thinking upon finishing the novel. If you are a fan of young adult or coming-of-age novels that feature imperfect mother/daughter relationships, then this is the pick for you." Wilma Azevedo became a mother in her forties. Her rebellious daughter Pauline became a mother at fifteen. Deeply depressed and humiliated by her boyfriend's abandonment, Pauline rejects her newborn daughter. Wilma is more mother than grandmother to the baby she adopted and named Jewel: precious and valuable. With her mother's blessing, eighteen-year-old Pauline accepts a job at an estate in Portugal. While Wilma raises her granddaughter in California, free-spirit Pauline embraces an exciting new life with her found family in Porto and Coimbra, intent on never taking a chance on love again and never being a mother. But when Pauline sees her chance to earn forgiveness, she is prepared to sacrifice everything for both of her families. Across fifteen years and two continents, three generations of mothers and daughters navigate fraught relationships, and define 'family' on their own terms. This book can be read as a standalone but if you want more of the Azevedo women, read the sequel "An Artist's Heart" to see what happens to Jewel as a young adult.
