The Wild Book - Plot & Excerpts

  My mother's brothers are Abelino, Miguel, Arcadio, and Félix.
Her sisters are Ana Luisa, Sarita, and Leonila.
  When all the cousins visit, the astonishing abundance of long, complicated names seems absolutely impossible to spell correctly, but I do truly, truly try!
Fortunately, my favorite best-friend cousin is Carmen, with her short, friendly name.
  She is the daughter of Tío Miguel and Tía Lucía, his smiling wife.
Before the wars, Lucía's African parents were slaves.
  My cousin Carmen is free, but we have to attend different church schools, and when we volunteer to help the nuns at the convent in town, Carmen has to enter the church through a hidden back door.
Why?
¡Ay!
