"Speak to Me of Home" is a poignant novel by Jeanine Cummins that delves into the intertwined lives of three generations of women connected by heritage and geography. Beginning in 1968 with Rafaela Acuña y Daubón's hopeful marriage in San Juan, Puerto Rico, the narrative unfolds through decades marked by migration, cultural assimilation, and personal sacrifice. Rafaela's move to the American Midwest sets off a chain of events that shape her daughter Ruth's struggle to fit in and her granddaughter Daisy's journey back to their roots. The story vividly portrays the challenges of maintaining identity amid change, the enduring bonds of family, and the impact of historical events such as a devastating hurricane in 2023. Through rich character development and evocative storytelling, this novel invites readers to reflect on what it truly means to call a place home and how shared history can both divide and unite. It is an insightful exploration of love, resilience, and the quest for belonging that resonates deeply with anyone who has grappled with questions of origin and family legacy.
