On a French hilltop, nestled in a magical olive grove, there is a jewel of a cooking school run by Alma Gloria and her gardener, Sam. It remains a delicious secret and no one quite knows how long it has been around. But rest assured, a great deal more happens at La Bastide d'Esperance than mastering the perfect cherry chocolate souffl . Stepping through the gates of La Bastide d'Esperance, one is reminded of the mystery, the wonder, and the sacredness of each story. Some say the place is run by angels, but you must determine that for yourself. Regardless, lives are changed, bread is broken and shared, and love abounds. Alma Gloria and the Olive Tree is story of hope, second chances, redemption, and much love.
It is the 1950s and eight-year-old Alma is no stranger to struggles. While growing up in a one-bedroom house in Argentina, Alma discovers there are two things she knows for sure: she will not be poor, and one day something extraordinary will happen to her. What she does not know is that just four years later, she will be on her way to America as an immigrant. As life leads Alma and her parents to a new home in Philadelphia, she soon becomes aware that Americans have many preconceptions about her. While the chaos of the Civil Rights Movement brings unfamiliar challenges that include unfair racial labels, Alma must also fight to protect her mother from her father, learn a new language, and adapt to the culture of her new land. As life leads her into adulthood and beyond, now it is up to her to summon the inner-strength she needs to change the colors of her life. Alma's Colors tells the story of an Argentinian immigrant as she adjusts to a new life in twentieth-century America.

Alma Liberada es la cuarta novela escrita por la dominicana Yloven Abreu, una escritora de grandes recursos para la narrativa directa y entretenida. Sus novelas la han llevado a crear entornos de grandes experiencias vivenciales. Y en esta ltima, su pluma gil y descriptiva nos trae personajes de la campi a hispanoamericana, con sus atavismos y sus pasiones t picos del aislamiento en que viven estos seres en sus peque os pero inquietantes mundillos que los devoran. Para concluir con los personajes urbanos, que ella los ubica en entornos m s atractivos y donde ellos se muestran m s due os de sus destinos. Es en estos ambientes donde la autora trae a sus campesinos para buscar su deseada liberaci n. En sus primeras novelas, Yloven nos trajo hero nas de gran vuelo, rodeadas de entornos familiares al lector. En Alma Liberada, el personaje central es un ni o que nace en un hogar donde la violencia dom stica prevalece sin que se asome el menor indicio de combatirla. Este personaje se mueve de abuso en abuso hasta quedar sin fuerzas para levantarse. Pero la compasi n colectiva se apiada y lo ayuda a seguir adelante. La autora con su caudal creativo maquina toda clase de sorpresas para el lector, haciendo de esta novela una caja de Pandora... llena de vericuetos que hacen del final un movimiento descriptivo con un vuelo cinematogr fico. Toda esta acci n es tra da con la m s entretenida y directa narrativa que Yloven Abreu muestra una vez m s ser cada vez m s diestra en este elemento tan importante para la novela.
