 p>It's 2017\, and Olga and her brother\, Pedro "Prieto" Acevedo\, are bold
 faced names in their hometown of New York. Prieto is a popular congressman
  representing their gentrifying Latinx neighborhood in Brooklyn\, while Ol
 ga is the tony wedding planner for Manhattan&rsquo\;s power brokers. Despi
 te their alluring public lives\, behind closed doors things are far less r
 osy. Sure\, Olga can orchestrate the love stories of the 1 percent\, but s
 he can&rsquo\;t seem to find her own...until she meets Matteo\, who forces
  her to confront the effects of long-held family secrets. Olga and Prieto&
 rsquo\;s mother\, Blanca\, a Young Lord turned radical\, abandoned her chi
 ldren to advance a militant political cause\, leaving them to be raised by
  their grandmother. Now\, with the winds of hurricane season\, Blanca has 
 come barreling back into their lives.</p>\n<p>Set against the backdrop of 
 New York City in the months surrounding the most devastating hurricane in 
 Puerto Rico&rsquo\;s history\, Xochitl Gonzalez&rsquo\;s <em>Olga Dies Dre
 aming</em> is a story that examines political corruption\, familial strife
 \, and the very notion of the American dream&mdash\;all while asking what 
 it really means to weather a storm.</p>\nhttps://lacountylibrary.libnet.in
