This is the story of five generations of Cuban women and a Salvadoran mother and daughter who’s lives intersect with the Cuban family.
Generational, family stories are some of my favourite stories and this was no exception. Truthfully, this story tore me apart a little bit but left me feeling hopeful as well. This story covers themes of womanhood and immigration and addiction in a way that feels so naturally intertwined with the story.
Graphic: Drug abuse and Addiction
