Flores and Miss Paula

Flores and Miss Paula

by Melissa Rivero

In the heart of Brooklyn, Flores, a millennial who toils at a struggling startup, and her Peruvian immigrant mother, Paula, seem to inhabit the same apartment yet live in disparate worlds. Bridged once by the loved Mart�n, husband to Paula and father to Flores, their lives were severed from commonality by his absence. An unexpected note found beneath his urn, scrawled in a plea by Paula, dredges up buried doubts and propels unease into the present. Bound by love but divided by views�Flores fantasizing freedom and success, Paula languishing in routine but dreaming of prosperity�each maneuvers hopes never voiced. As the prospect of eviction looms, the mother-daughter duo must reconcile the past's shadows with dreams held aloft for the future. A testament of resilience, 'Flores and Miss Paula' explores the intricacies of familial ties and immigrant identity with a perceptive grace.
