Our book group just finished Mirta Ojito’s fabulous book, "Deeper than the Ocean' and we gave it rave reviews. It’s gorgeously written and beautifully told. It touches with great depth on themes of loss, secrets, family, migration and the power of love. The book is a best seller so we are not the only ones who love it.

Gen Padalecki's Book Club
"This one sweeps you from the Canary Islands to Cuba to Key West, weaving together a century of family secrets, forbidden love, and the kind of resilience that lives in our bones. Following Catalina’s story in 1919 and her great-granddaughter Mara’s search for the truth in 2019… it’s haunting, atmospheric, and full of those generational echoes that stay with you long after you close the book. Can’t wait to get into this one with you. Grab a copy and read along with me!"
