The secret is revealed to her unceremoniously: Manolo is not her real father.
She doesn't want to meet Sebastian, to know if he might have been kinder than the charismatic, dangerous man she was sent away from as a child. And why would she - her uncle Ed, has doted on her as if she were his own. Her new life in the Midwest, confusingly predictable and suburban, is worlds away from the chaos she left behind in Mexico City.
Years later, she attempts to understand the splinters her fractured childhood has left in her. What did she gain from her three fathers? What did she lose?
