Thank You for a Wonderful Review for The Family She Never Met
Thank you so much for this wonderful review, Fedora! I am so so happy that you enjoyed The Family She Never Met!
Fedora’s review
“The Family She Never Met is a story of love and family, and how pain and loss can linger and continue to wound. It is also a story of healing and forgiveness, written by someone who is able to describe the joy and sorrow experienced. Caridad Pinero’s story brings to life a family’s sacrifices and the impacts they have on the generations that follow. Her writing is layered and descriptive, and her characterizations captivating. A wholly fantastic read.” Fedora Chen, BookBub Reviewer

A True Family Tale from The Family She Never Met
In The Family She Never Met there is a flashback scene where an old neighbor comes to visit Jessica’s grandmother Carmen and returns a ring that Carmen had thought was lost.
That is a true story about my grandmother’s engagement ring!
When it finally came time for us to leave Cuba, we had to do it in a rush. During that rush, my grandparents were giving away anything of value to friends because they didn’t want Castro to get it.
One of those things was a robe that was given to a neighbor who had been a very good friend to my grandmother.
After my grandparents left Cuba with us, my grandmother realized she had lost her engagement ring.
My grandfather felt so bad, that when we got to the U.S., my grandfather saved up money and tracked down the jeweler who had made the first ring to make my grandmother another one just like it.
Many, many years later, a knock came on our door in Levittown. It was our old neighbor who had found out where we were living. He had come to return my grandmother’s ring which his wife had found in the pocket of the robe my grandmother had given her when we were leaving.
This is a photo of the ring!
