Title: Song of the water saints
Description: "First there is Graciela: a young girl rebelling against the strictures of her poor, rural life in the Dominican Republic in the early 1900s, she searches for her true destiny even as it lures her away from her husband and baby daughter.

Then there is Mercedes, passionately devoted to the Church, who rears herself after the death of her beloved stepfather, eventually marrying and moving with her husband to New York City, where she will bring up her granddaughter...Coming of age in the freewheeling 1990s - and bringing the story full circle - Leila has without a doubt inherited the restless genes of great-grandmother Graciela."--BOOK JACKET.
