Anamely Salgado Reyes

A Mexican-American girl is forced to help her estranged grandmother’s spirit cross over by fulfilling her ornery spirit’s wish that her body be taken back to Mexico. In My Mother Cursed My Name a decade worth of resentment, secrets, generational curses and well-intentioned mistakes threaten to extinguish her private yearning and damage her relationship with her mother. To save themselves, each woman must seek to find the true definition of home.
