About the Book

Cecelia is your typical eleven year old, in love with her mother and open to the magic the world she lives in - beautiful Colombian coastal town of the 1870's. Yet the honeymoon ends quickly as her faith and sanity are tested by circumstances beyond her control. This story weaves the tale of a heroine who must overcome her own mind and the challenges of her family. What is real and what is fiction will need to be teased out and shaped into something unexpected for her time in history. Resting in the genre of magic realism and at the feet of the grand literary novels of South American writers such as Isabel Allende and Gabriel Garcia Marquez, you will not be disappointed with this second release by this author. Languages are in English with some Spanish in dialogue. Glossary is included at the end.
About the Author: Tarabud was born in Chicago, Illinois to Colombian immigrants. As a child, she lived with her maternal family in Colombia, and grew up enfolded in the richness of Latin American culture. Returning to Southern California with her single mother, she developed a bi-cultural identity that still inspires her creative work. She completed a Bachelor's Degree in English Literature, from California State University of Long Beach, where she developed her love of story. Upon her marriage, she relocated to San Francisco Bay Area, where she currently resides. In the Bay Area she completed a Master's Degree in Transpersonal/Somatic Psychology from John F. Kennedy University. Tarabud remains active in the Bay Area arts scene and continues to write poetry and novellas from her desk overlooking her hummingbird feeder in her home in Oakland, California. She self-published two other works now available in the Amazon book store: La Semilla and In Moments Like This.
