Thirteen Miracles and Counting takes you into the life of Elenita Aguilar and her Cuban expatriate family. Join her as she recounts the unexpected everyday miracles that grace her family as they work to integrate their Cuban past with their all-American future. Thirteen Miracles and Counting is a novel with a rich mixture of characters and cultures and magical realism at its center. As Elenita herself tells us, "We Cubans are a superstitious people. There are always dangers to watch out for. Evil spirits. Voodoo worshipers working their black magic in back rooms during the owl hours of the night. Dry palms ready to burn should it thunder. It's hard to tell how these superstitions worked their way into our souls, but they did. Lola, a friend of the family, liked saying that it was the water in Cuba that makes us this way--one dip in the ocean and all the centuries of fear and superstitions just soak into us. My brother Pablito once asked how come it seemed to only affect Cubans even though others bathed in the same waters. She had no answer for him, except that the ocean somehow knew its people. And so with superstitions we grew, my brother and sister and I." And perhaps it was the power of these superstitions, which made it possible for Elenita to see that miracles do happen. They happen all the time. They really do. Not always the grand ones with saintly apparitions and Vatican approval, and throngs of worshipers making pilgrimages to the holy sight, but small miracles which fill our lives and go easily unnoticed.
