The Butterfly's Daughter by Mary Alice Monroe
"Luz smiled, amazed she could do no wrong. Everyone kept offering her more food and more beer. The more beer she drank, Luz found, the more her tongue loosened. Before long she joined in the conversations, murdering the language but no one seemed to mind. They all smiled at her, seemingly grateful at her effort. She was surrounded by people who looked like her and Abuela. Especially her sisters, tia Rosa and Tia Marisela....But there was so much family! When introduced Luz smiled and repeated the names and hoped she would get better at remembering them all in the days to come."
