From the Back Cover In From the Abuelas Window, Maribel discovers Papa is among the disappeared. It is Chile, 1974. The crafty old abuelas, Zoraida, Marta and Wilfreda, watch from the window of their tall house as Maribel and her sisters play in their Mamas garden. They convince Mama that telling her daughters the truth about their Papa is the best way to protect them. That is not all they do. When the army shows up and tensions rise in their village, the abuelas unite with Maribel and her family. Through their adventures, sparked by a series of gifts from the abuelas, Maribel and her sisters take the power of love and magic into their own hands. **************** From the Abuelas Window is told with subtle humor and a touch of magic realism. This is a compelling story of a loving Latin American family amid political and military upheaval. Product Description This delightful story weaves magic realism, humor and compassion to tell of three tricky old abuelas and three young girls who combine their gifts to change fate one small step at a time.
