Familia

Rico (author of the “Whiskey Sisters” series) delves into issues of sisterhood, redemption, and forgiveness as she explores the tangled lives of Gabby DiMarco and Isabella Ruíz. As a magazine fact-checker in New York City, there’s one thing that 25-year-old Gabby believes in wholeheartedly—the importance of finding incontrovertible truths. Her commitment to sorting fact from fiction serves her well when she discovers a possible family connection, resulting from a recent genealogy test. After the test results come in, Gabby is contacted by Isabella, a woman in Puerto Rico who believes that they may be long-lost sisters. Narrators Frankie Corzo, Robb Moreira, and Victoria Villarreal take listeners through the twists and turns of Isabella’s and Gabby’s story, centered on a family torn apart by small-town drug influencers and tragic decisions. The narrators offer an emotive, riveting performance, alternating perspectives as they immerse listeners in dual timelines: San Juan in the 1990s and the present day. The narrators naturally incorporate Puerto Rican accents and differentiate between characters, adding atmosphere and depth.
