Vivian M Pisano's Books

Living in Two Worlds tells a story of love, loss, and reflection. Vivian, born to an American mother and Chilean father, has an idyllic childhood in her father's country. With her beloved abuelita (grandmother), her siblings and cousins, and the fundo (family ranch of her grandparents), she enjoys a rich sense of family and the beauty of long summer fun.But what of all that her mother gave up in the United States? We find out, as the illness of Vivian's sister takes mother and children abruptly back to California-without Papa. From there displacement, grief, and resentments drive Vivian's search for identity and belonging. Tia Sylvia sheds light on the complexity of the parents's predicament; And Vivian's own memories, dreams, imagination, and introspection help readers piece together an understanding that gives perspective on, and appreciation for, the past.
