Imagine Your Parents as Teens
What were your parents like at your age? How did they meet, fall in love and have a family? It's difficult for most teenagers to imagine the answers to those questions. Selina Andrade is no exception. Her mom has moved out and now she is expected to be the hostess at all of the fancy dinners her father hosts. Lupe & Selina Play Through the Storm is the second book in my YA trilogy. It features two young women who both love to play softball. Critics say: “This coming-of-age story about a teenager striving for a college sports scholarship—and later for direction in life—surprises with a delightful supernatural mystery. Perez Ferguson's focus on baseball brings a unique element to the story, as does the protagonist's friendship with a baseball enthusiast from another generation.” The Book Life Prize: Critic’s Report Lupe is the coach and Selina is a college freshman on her team. I hope you enjoy this book, and also the first book in the series, Lupe Throws Like A Girl. I am busy writing book number three for you right now! All the books are available here at Bublish.com and other online outlets.
Book Excerpt
Lupe and Selina Play Through the Storm
Selina
Hearty food and hearty souls gathered for the Sunday dinner at Carlos Andrade’s home, including a new and mysterious guest. As host, Andrade introduced people, guided the conversation, and concluded business transactions so casually that guests felt they were there solely for the meal. As she substituted for her mother, Selina recognized the irony of hosting dinners in the house her mom grew up in without her.
Her mother’s age at marriage had been a decade younger than her father’s. The thought occurred to Selina that maybe her parents initially encountered each other in that very dining room during her mother’s younger years. Upon her eighteenth birthday, Selina’s mother had already moved to California with her ambitious husband and given birth to Jake and Selina. The Fuentes Coffee business, founded by Mama’s father, was now run by her husband, Carlos Andrade. What did Papa recall when he noticed his daughter sitting at the table in Mama’s place?
