Olga muere soñando / Xochitl Gonzalez ; traducido por Roque Raquel Salas Rivera.

Summary:

"Olga y su hermano, Pedro 'Prieto' Acevedo, un carismático congresista, han alcanzado un estatus privilegiado en la ciudad de Nueva York. Olga es una reconocida organizadora de bodas de la élite de la ciudad, y su trabajo es recompensado con cifras astronómicas. Su hermano, 'Prieto' Acevedo, representa a la comunidad latina en su barrio natal de Brooklyn. Lo que pocos saben es que, a pesar de sus exitosas vidas, los Acevedo se criaron con su abuela cuando su madre, Blanca, los abandonó para entregarse al activismo político con los Young Lords. Ahora, tras sobrevivir al huracán María, ella reaparece súbitamente en sus vidas. Con el telón de fondo de la ciudad de Nueva York en los meses posteriores al devastador huracán, 'Olga muere soñando' explora la corrupción política, los conflictos familiares y el verdadero significado del sueño americano." --page 4 of the cover.
"Olga and her brother, Pedro "Prieto" Acevedo, a charismatic congressman, have achieved a privileged status in New York City. Olga is a renowned wedding planner for the city's elite, and she is paid very well for her work. Her brother represents the Latino community in Brooklyn. What few know is that, despite their successes, the Acevedos were raised by their grandmother when their mother abandoned them to devote herself to political activism with the Young Lords. Now, after surviving Hurricane Maria, she suddenly reappears in their lives. Set against the backdrop of New York City in the months following the devastating hurricane, "Olga dies dreaming" explores political corruption, family conflicts and the true meaning of the American Dream." --cataloger's translation.
