Cuba, 1936. As her family struggles to recover from the Cuban Revolution, Estelita's world opens when she's discovered singing in Havana nightclubs. At fifteen, her dreams to travel to America come true with the invitation to sing at the Copacabana. There, she begins a whirlwind romance with Chu Chu Martinez, a handsome actor she later marries. But when Chu Chu forbids her from performing, Estelita takes their daughter, Nina, and escapes to Hollywood. Big Sur, 1966. Nina Rodriguez grew up enamored by her mother's beauty and glamour. When Nina finds herself repeating her mother's destructive patterns with men, she looks to the lessons of her mother's past to find a new way forward. Based on the true events of Estelita Rodriguez's sensational life and exclusive interviews with the real Nina, this audiobook beautifully captures the love, sacrifice and deep understanding that can only come from a mother-daughter relationship
