The Volcano That Wept Glass

About this book

On a decrepit ferry crossing the Caribbean Sea, sixty-year-old Marisol Quintero unfolds a worn leather pouch of glass beads for a young deckhand, sharing the forgotten history of Isla Corazón. Decades earlier, seventeen-year-old Mari was the island's 'bead-blind' outcast, unable to read the memory-infused glass beads wept by the volcano Cerro Lágrima. But when the mountain begins weeping cold future-beads out of season and a modern development corporation arrives with plans to permanently seal the volcano with concrete, Mari discovers her true gift: she can feel the raw, underlying emotional truths within the glass. Together with Renzo, the council head's rebellious son, and Doña Pilar, a fading master glass-cutter, Mari must lead a spiritual revolution to protect the island's collective soul before their memories are lost forever.
