Lubelia Alycea is the one to read for an unforgettable story of a formidable little girl who grew up to be a strong, resilient and cantankerous woman who paved the way for her family in a new land – America.
I wrote this story to honor and in memory of my grandmother who lived to be 100.5 years young. She was the essence of this character for she was strong, resilient and cantankerous. I think she would have loved this book! It is fiction but is based on her character and some of the stories she used to share with me. The rest I created from my crazy imagination.
Lubelia Alycea leaves her native country of Madeira, Portugal to travel to her new home – America.
This is the story of how a strong, resilient young girl grows into a formidable woman. She must survive many tragedies in her lifetime, separation from family, sickness, death, betrayal, and a lost love. Will she find happiness and a new love in her life?
Will she be strong enough to face the storms ahead and still keep her family together? Will the secrets in her life destroy her and all that she holds dear?
