Three generations, a surprise confession and many secrets. Several Asturian women tell their histories in eighteen gripping stories. The ferocious Franco dictatorship, the Spanish Civil War, hunger, confinement, marriages, maternity, love and happiness mark the lives of mothers, daughters and granddaughters. These captivating tales with subversive and critical connotations transcend national origin to become universal.

The Yellow Brick Road Gang, otherwise known as Metaphysical Misadventures in the Search for Enlightenment, was once just a book club. Now, they are a circle of friends as close as family. Together they embarked on a spiritual search -- and throughout the last eight years each woman has come to realize that the only constant is change and that anything is possible. Cristine and her partner have always approached their relationship like a business, and Cristine prides herself on her cool-headed and logical thinking. But when Cristine's partner decides he doesn't want to renew their relationship contract, Cristine is devastated. Trying to help her, the Yellow Brick Road Gang devises a ritual to bring Cristine a new lover: Mix cayenne pepper for hot passion and dried mustard for strength, add a tiny bit of mint for sweetness, then cast into a fire. Enter Daniel Burns. He is no ordinary man. In fact, he isn't a man at all... At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
