Olga Dies Dreaming by Xochitl Gonzalez

In the months leading up to Hurricane Maria's devastation of Puerto Rico, high-end wedding planner Olga is living in Brooklyn and has just met Matteo, the man who could finally be "the one". Matteo's presence in her life might also help Olga get past the trauma of her mother, Bianca, abandoning the family when Olga was a teenager. Bianca was always committed more to fighting for a free Puerto Rico than being a mother to Olga and her brother Prieto (now a U.S. congressman). Bianca, in fact, hasn't seen Olga and Prieto for over twenty-five years. After the hurricane, however, it's inevitable that the trio's lives collide.
