Afterlife [large print] Julia Alvarez.
"Antonia Vega has had the rug pulled out from under her. She has just retired from the college where she taught English when her husband Sam suddenly dies. And then more jolts: her big-hearted but unstable sister disappears, and Antonia returns home one evening to find a pregnant, undocumented teenager on her doorstep. Antonia has always sought direction in the literature she loves--lines from her favorite authors play in her head like a soundtrack--but now she finds that the world demands more of her than words. How do we live in a broken world without losing faith in one another or ourselves?"--Back cover.
