title: Stay with Me: A Novel
author:  Sandra Rodriguez Barron 
description: In the aftermath of a devastating hurricane, five children are discovered alone aboard a luxury boat in a Puerto Rican harbor. Adopted by different families, the children share a special bond, considering themselves siblings despite their mysterious origins. Now adults, Taina, Raymond, Adrian, Holly, and David have gathered at the home of Davids former girlfriend, Julia, for a long-overdue reunion. The house, a part of Julias family for generations, is an aging, isolated pile, the ideal setting for the theatrical revelations that are sure to follow. David, recently diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer, believes their time together could not only help him heal but also reunite him with the beautiful and saintly Julia. The remaining siblings, all with their own agendas, must also decide whether to find out, with the help of science, if they are truly related. Be-careful-what-you-wish-for rings true as the siblings veer toward their breaking points, and the truth about their early lives is uncovered. Part mystery, part romance, this is an intriguing story that explores the meaning of family and the role of history in defining who we are. --Carol Gladstein
