"When you don't love yourself, can you still be happy? Childhood disappointments and complexes harden you? Is the world as it has become foreign to you? It's Cassie's story. Today, Florida. Everyone calls Cassie Mama Cass, like the pop singer. 50 years old, self-conscious about her weight, lonely, disenchanted. Taking tourists by hovercraft to observe the wonders of nature in the Everglades is her life's work. Her only friend, Oleg, makes her laugh and supports her temper. Cleaning her large house is done by Soledad, an elderly Mexican who already worked for her parents. Mama Cass finds Soledad lying on the living room carpet one evening. Dead. Heart attack. Who should be warned? She realizes she doesn't know anything about it. In a drawer, she finds a note from Soledad: "Miss Cassie, when I am dead, take me home." It is her duty to honor her wishes. For the first time in her life, she is taking a plane to the Yucatan, in search of Soledad's origins. She will discover friendship, incongruity, and humanity.. and a taste for life."--Back cover.
