Carmen and Grace have been inseparable since they were little girls, more like sisters than cousins. They have survived a childhood marked by neglect and addiction, and for too long, all they had was each other. That is, until Doña Durka swept into their lives and changed everything. Durka is more than a beneficent force in their Bronx neighborhood; she is also the leader of an underground drug empire, a larger-than-life matriarch who understands the importance of taking what power she can in a world too often ruled by violent men.

When Durka dies suddenly, Carmen and Grace's lives are thrown into chaos. Grace has been primed to take over and has grand plans to expand the business, but Carmen is ready to move on – from Durka's shadow and from always looking over her shoulder in fear. Carmen and Grace is a devastatingly wise and intimate story about the bonds of female friendship, ambition, and found family. It is a powerful read that will leave you feeling inspired and uplifted.
