Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Victor and Jaqueline Torres imagined moving to the U.S. would bring happiness and prosperity; instead, they found a world of frustration. While Victor put long hours into his restaurant business, Jaqui devoted her life to her daughters, until they grew up and moved on. Even their eldest, Victoria, is torn trying to reconcile being the perfect Argentine daughter and an independent American woman. Antonio and Lucia Orteli face the same realities, especially when their only son Eric leaves their close-knit Argentine community in pursuit of his own dreams. When Eric unexpectedly shows up at the Argentine Club—the heart of the Argentine community in southern California—he starts a series of events that will bring these two families closer than ever. New relationships are formed and old ones are put to the test, as everyone must learn how to balance different cultures—and different dreams—without hurting those they love.
