When Trying to Return Home by Jennifer Maritza McCauley

emotional hopeful reflective

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes

 This collection grew on me more and more throughout the reading process, and so my two favorite stories were the last two: "La Espera" and "Liberation Day". What a coincidence, to read about two sets of twins right after Ori sent me this piece about twinhood in the New Yorker!

Another twin coincidence- When Trying to Return Home features characters from both "my" city (Miami!) and Ori's former city (nola). I love when things like this happen :)
