An “utterly unforgettable” (Kevin Wilson New York Times bestselling author of Nothing to See Here ) debut novel about a Cuban American family sent into a tailspin when the ailing matriarch confesses the first of several shocking secrets to her daughter. Mónica Campo is pregnant with her first child when moments before being wheeled into emergency heart surgery her mother confesses a long-held secret: Mónica’s father is not the man who raised her. But when her mother wakes up and begins having delusional episodes Mónica doesn’t know what to believe—whether the confession was real or just a channeling of the telenovela her mother watches nightly. In her despair Mónica wants to speak with only one person: her ex-boyfriend of five years Manny. She can’t help but worry though what this says about her relationship with her fiancé and father of her unborn child. Mónica’s search for the truth leads her to a new understanding of the past—the early ’80s when her parents arrived from Cuba on the famous Mariel boatlift and the tumultuous ’70s a decade after Castro’s takeover when some people were still secretly fighting his regime—people like her mother and the man she claims is Mónica’s real father. Tell It to Me Singing is “so fantastic and funny so full of life and so full of genuine heart that like your favorite binge-worthy show you'll have trouble pulling yourself away” (Cristina Henríquez author of The Great Divide ). This “rich portrait” ( Kirkus Reviews ) of a family takes readers from Miami to Cuba to the jungles of Costa Rica and along the way explores the question of how and to whom we belong how a life is built and how we know we’re home.
