The stories in this prize-winning collection evoke a complete world, one so richly imagined and finely realized that the stories themselves are not so much read as experienced. The world of these stories is Portuguese-American, redolent of incense and spices, resonant with ritual and prayer, immersed in the California culture of freeway and commerce. Packed with lyrical prose and vivid detail, acclaimed writer Katherine Vaz conjures a captivating blend of Old World heritage and New World culture to explore the links between families, friends, strangers, and their world. From the threat of a serial killer as the background for a young girl's first brush with death to the fallout of a modern-day visitation from the Virgin Mary; from an AIDS-stricken squatter refusing to vacate an empty Lisbon home to a mother's yearlong struggle with the death of her synesthetic daughter, these deft stories make their world ours.Binding Type: Paperback

Great non-toxic sunscreen option!!
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Very happy with the ingredients in this sunscreen! I feel great about putting it on my skin. Just know it leaves a pretty noticeable white sheen when you wear it. I've noticed that a lot with natural sunscreens but it's worth it!

Very heave texture.
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The texture is very heavy and greasy, and it leaves a white cast that takes quite a while to disappear. It’s probably fine for the body during beach days, but not for daily use — especially not on the face.
